I worked with H-1B visa holders, they weren’t any better than anyone else that could’ve been hired off the street in most large cities.

Having managed them, I usually explain it this way:

Less than 5 percent are truly competent & have the personality skills to work with others. These are the ones worth sponsoring. You have to be aware that there are significant differences in educational credentials that could cause sponsoring to be a nightmare.

The next 20 percent are loved by management, since they're compliant and don't rock the boat. How much work (or damage) they create is another story.

The remainder... I'd have gotten more done if the company had hired "Howard, Fine, & Howard" for the job.
