H1 Abuse!!
H1 visa is an abuse to foreign workers. Desi consultants are the only people to get benefit from it as they get paid. The only thing they give us is a H1 visa (for that money) and nothing else. Some desi consultants are complete fake who just take the money and fail to get the visa itself for the foreign national. They make hell lot of money by employing people from india, pakistan, bangladesh and sri lanka. They cant get us decent jobs and neither can they provide good standard of living to foreign workers. Its like living in a jail.

I hope US changes this whole H1 system and introduces a more efficient visa which could be based on inidividual experience and points system leading to a permanent settlement or international experience gain.
