You’d be surprised how long this H-1B scam has been going on. Decades.

I don't understand how an H1-B worker can be that much cheaper. A company had to pay $15k-$20k in costs up front just to get the H1-B. Then the worker can jump ship and take the H1-B immediately. I worked at a company that refused to hire H1-Bs because they got burned twice on that.

Now, L1 Visa workers can't leave their company unless they get an H1-B from another company. But they have to work for the company for a year outside the country before they are eligible.
