I like it.

I’ve had a couple h1b employees. They started off as employees in their country of origin (where we were building a plant) then kind of accidentally ended up as employees in the states. All but one immediately applied for citizenship and that one had family constraints that required him to eventual go back home. He’s now the customer in his home country because he runs the plant we built.

That’s what H1B is for; not to replace Americans. It’s very abused.

There are a lot of homes listed as major businesses, in that tool.

They are not properly notating these.

Is there a developer working for a company elsewhere that lives in those homes? It says the houses don’t have “E-Verify” and the house hires migrants.

Huh?

Does your model include Jewish owned businesses?
We’d like to avoid those too please?


It really must BE springtime for Hitler in Germany when the Nazis are as open as the communists these days.

Total BS map. An outfit called “Boundless Immigration “ got top marks from this place for not hiring illegals. How many believe that. Another fake news report. Ignore.

Would do this if it was for sure legit. But business owners can pay to have their status upgraded?

12% of H1b are consultants...not employees.
Over 40% of the rest are employees of consulting firms.
Over 50% do consulting for a “client”. Who are the clients?

#1 H1b Client: The government, Trump. #1 Government agency: HHS.

Deloitte is the #1 abuser of H1b. Deloitte is the #1 Welfare FRAUD.

Deloitte H1b often do not understand US or state law and custom. Deloitte H1b IT workers are often not competent in IT. But the #1 problem with Deloitte H1b is that being H1b they are in no position to be whistleblowers and tell the truth about Deloitte FRAUD.

This is a great start, but is there a way to filter by business type?

History of the H-1B visa:

Archived :

https://archive.is/OymCH

https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2025/11/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-h-1b-visa/

Data from Federal government agencies, such as the USCIS and Department of Labor :

USCIS’s H-1B Employer Data Hub :

https://www.uscis.gov/tools/reports-and-studies/h-1b-employer-data-hub

PERM, LCA (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3) data and statistics - U.S. Department of Labor :

https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/foreign-labor/performance

H-1B (and H-1B1, E-3) LCA Labor Condition Application filings, which are far higher than the number of H-1Bs actually granted. The LCA is the first step for a company to take in applying for an H-1B. The rows are order by number of LCA/H-1B applications at respective companies from highest downward :

https://layoffhedge.com/h1b

Higher education institutions or non-profit research organizations, including governmental research organizations, are not subject to the H1B annual cap of 85,000. Here is a site where the employer names and counts of exempt H-1B employees can be queried by year and state:

https://h1bgrader.com/h1b-cap-exempt-sponsors

As for numbers of OPT and CPT visas (handled by DHS - ICE), the only data available are that of the top 200 employers. Of course, Federal agencies cannot provide the names of the individual visa holders. It will take FOIA/Freedom Of Information Act inquires to get complete lists of OPT and CPT employers.

During the Biden administration, H-1B visa holders were buying houses with 97-100% financing :

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4379360/posts

I asked Google AI :

“Does the FHA have a list of subsidized loans made to H-1B holders?”

It said the “FHA does not collect citizenship or residency status on standard loan applications.”

Google then offered to provide me information on “Conventional Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac mortgages that still allow H-1B borrowers”.

Here’s a graphic on how OPTs have flattened wages :

More on STEM-OPT visas :

Besides OPT and STEM OPT extensions, there is also CPT, Curricular Practical Training. Giving the term “Day 1 CPT” to Google AI yields :

“Day 1 CPT allows eligible international students on F-1 visas to start off-campus work authorization on the very first day of their academic program, bypassing the standard one-year waiting period.”

https://careerconnections.smeal.psu.edu/blog/2025/09/18/what-is-day-1-cpt/

“No Wait Time: Students can accept paid employment immediately when classes begin.”

H-1Bs don’t go home :

https://x.com/LayoffAI/status/2071566853009277385

Searching Google with the terms “fannie mae H-1B” yields the following from its AI :

“...
Mortgage and Home Loan Eligibility

Borrower approval: H-1B visa holders are fully eligible for conventional home mortgages backed by Fannie Mae under the same baseline terms as U.S. citizens.”

Can H-1B Holders Get a US Home Loan Without Credit? Truth Explained

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuYEaCrtBpY

Documentation rules: Borrowers must possess a valid Social Security Number (SSN) and a current, verified legal status documented by an unexpired work visa or I-94/I-797 paperwork.”

Searching Google with the terms “freddie mac H-1B” yields the following from its AI :

“...
Mortgage Guidelines for H-1B Holders

Loan Eligibility: Non-U.S. citizens with nonpermanent lawful residency status (such as an H-1B visa) are eligible for Freddie Mac mortgage guidelines on the same terms as U.S. citizens, provided they have valid residency status and meet standard credit requirements (typically a credit score of 620 or higher).”

This link, dated 2025 is shocking. Loans for investment and vacation homes are POSSIBLE :
