Absolutely needs to be an annual fee and hassle.
Good. All this is done to undercut the cost of American workers. My career has been in consulting and we have been an absolute pox upon the American workforce. Every discussion Ive had has been about how cheap H1bs are and how there might be a contract where we dont have to pay benefits. Nothing about quality of deliverables or workforce. I have routinely gotten into trouble during these meetings with my opinion.
