There are 2,500,000 Hindu’s legally in US. After 5 years on legal immigrant status (aka green card) they become eligible for US Citizenship.

Total number of H1-B visa workers from ALL countries is estimated to be under 100,000.

Just keeping track of actual numbers and therefore probability of many more citizens than H1-B visa holders should be very high.

You are wrong.

H1B started in 1991. Initially, 45000 per year , Bill Clinton moved it 65000 per year. Bush 43 moved it to 125,000 per year. Now its 65000 per year. Every year quota for green card are based on country. India waiting list for Job based Green Card are from 3 yrs to 8 yrs.
Average Green Card process for Indians are from 3 to 12 yrs.

H1B holder must be between 2-4 millions.
