Apoorva arrived in New York in 2018 on an H-1B visa, fresh from one of India’s top graduate schools and brimming with hope of building a life in the United States. She soon joined an architecture firm, eager to contribute her skills and establish roots.
But her dreams were quickly dashed — because Apoorva, like many other immigrants on an H-1B, soon experienced some visa-related issues. She recalled being stuck at her minimum wage architecture job for over three years. Changing jobs on an H-1B visa is famously difficult, and often means enduring months of bureaucratic limbo and steep United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) fees.
Apoorva eventually secured a second job with a higher starting salary but that had its own costs as well.
“My second employer froze my salary for three years citing immigration costs of around $8,000 to $9,000 annually, which ultimately they asked me to cover myself,” Apoorva, who shared only her first name, said.
Apoorva was not planning to go back to India but visa uncertainties made her question her future in the country.
“At every point of my seven-year H-1B journey, I have questioned whether it was worth spending decades waiting for a green card via this path and enduring all the mental battles, the career stagnation and the debilitating limbo that came with it — or if it was just better to move back to India,” she said.

No I am not making it up. Read the comments of those defending h1b.
Yet I got people on here defending H1bs as a method to drive down the minimum wage and keep out unions.
You want Indian CEO’s to leave their US companies? Why is that?
Where? On this thread?
I want them to leave PERIOD: I am tired of bring colonized by upper caste racist Indians.
"I got into the mindset of, okay, this is my new home,” he said. “But I have no choice, I have decided to leave and move to London.”
Well we got in the mindset of "no. You're not staying." BTW, I sure notice you don't seem eager at all to go back to India. Gosh, why is that?
Another: "“My partner and I are seriously thinking about leaving the U.S. We both have six-figure jobs, pay taxes, Social Security, and Medicare, but we’re not citizens. It feels very dehumanizing and not a way to build goodwill for contributors.”
You came to the US and got 6 figure jobs.....Yeah, we'd prefer those 6 figure jobs go to Americans. We don't care about "building goodwill" with you. We care about Americans. Buh Bye.
Another: "Looking ahead, Bagri predicts long-term talent shortages."
Looking ahead I predict companies hiring more Americans. I predict companies bringing back the job training programs they killed off a generation ago when they started being allowed to bring in cheap foreign labor.
Read any of them. They are several up today.
What do you mean “colonized”?
When the Left is against something, doesn’t that tell you there must be something good and beneficial about it, right?
H-1B Visa Holders are beneficial because they work for lower wages (bypassing the obnoxious and destructive minimum wage and union junk), thus reducing costs and lower prices, and benefitting the consumer. And when the consumer wins the economy wins and America wins.
And the Left does not want America to win.

Yet you don’t point any out to me. You’re a troll.
I posted just after your post.
I’m not sure what he means by “bypassing the obnoxious and destructive minimum wage and union junk”. They have to get paid minimum wage. And IT workers aren’t in unions. The H-1B workers can’t break any unions if they are in IT.
If H-1B holders are in a unionized job, then they would be in the union as well, unless it’s a right to work state, where they have the option of joining, just like anyone else. I think very few of them are in unionized jobs. Certainly not in IT.
H-1B holders are not breaking any unions as you claimed.
Indians are good at internal politics and screwing over colleagues if nothing else.
You work in a tech company?
People of one race, from one country India, are coming in by the hundreds of thousands annually stealing our best jobs, excluding American workers and forming exclusive communities. Their customs and caste systems are antithetical to our way of life. That is colonization.
So don’t play stupid.
They originally came here on H1Bs.
Deport Her.
MIGA
She Can Help Make India Great Again!
“Peace By Easter”
Said Maxipad.
There are several like him that post on FR, defending foreigners brought over here strictly to lower our wages and take our jobs.
Screw us Americans and our wanting to be paid. Let’s just import low cost foreigners. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Yeah, The Pad says a lot of stuff when he’s trollink and disruptink.
Think I clicked on the wrong post. My bad.
So long sweetcheeks!
Take the skills you cheated some American out off and make your home land great again.
