An IT company based in Silicon Valley has filed a lawsuit against the United States government for denying an H-1B visa to an Indian techie.

[….] The company asserts USCIS acted capriciously when they denied Anisetty the visa stating his position did not meet the criterion that "a baccalaureate or higher degree or its equivalent is normally the minimum requirement for entry into the particular position."

According to Xterra, they had submitted all evidentiary documents as requested which proved that Anisetty's appointment as Business Systems Analyst qualified all four criteria for an H-1B specialty occupation, yet, the USCIS gave no explanation for denying the company's petition for granting a visa. […]

Currently, Anisetty holds valid H-4 dependent status through his wife, the principal beneficiary of an H-1B application. [...]

I blame GE, Jack ("we gave them lifetime employability")who Welch, McKinsey & co. (who at one point were hired by one of the Indian provinces with the stated aim, IIRC, of creating one million jobs there), and Bill Gates (who cried poverty about wages but who arranged a $57 Billion dividend, and the folks at Hewlett-Patel and Sun Microsystems (say, whatever happened to them?)

I blame them for being unqualified to do the job.
30 years working for Intel Microprocessor Design qualifies me to make that statement.

Because they stole the high paying jobs, and engage in discrimination once they are in management.

Not to the letter, but that is common practice. Short contract lengths are one reason.

I think entropy12 is a dot;IIRC he came here before the H1-B Craze, and for his own part, worked hard.
He thinks this entitles his countrymen to the pickbof jobs, thre right to discriminate, and the fat of the land
He ought to go back. Without the money he filchex from the US ecenomy by being here as a guest in the first place.
Typical racist Indian caste-based thinking. It keeps seeping out between the cracks.

Haha..learn some history. For openers India is not a race, any more than Jews are a race or USA is a race. Indians come in a variety of races.

I understand completely why US citizens do not like H1-B visa foreign workers. However the drumbeat is to single out Indian workers as the culprits.

Again, Indians did not pass the H1-B visa laws. YOUR elected congress critters did as directed by their globalist masters. Learn to blame the real culprits.

I thought that is how a capitalist system works...
Unless the Indian entrepreneurs did something illegal, what is wrong with them exploiting opportunities? They did not write US corporate laws. That would be YOUR elected congress critters who are in pockets of their globalist Billionaires.

Maybe I have seen more than some here who mean well, but engage in knee-jerk reaction, without really having a sufficient amount of information.

You are right...I came on a student visa in 1960, did not want to work here longer than 18 months after graduating which was the maximum length of time allowed in those days.

It was my employer, a large industrial outfit in Chicago who talked me into staying and sponsored me for green card which I received in 1965, and US citizenship in 1970.

I thought this is how a capitalist system works...
What is wrong with anyone exploiting opportunities? They did not write US corporate laws. That would be YOUR elected congress critters who are in pockets of their globalist Billionaires.

Are you a native American or descendant of Europeans or some other origin?

I keep telling people its not just tech. The Banks are stuffed full of them and its definitely not just tech jobs.

H1b abuse is just as big of an issue for me as the border. Both are part of the cheap labor express used to undercut Americans in their own country.

We have far too many of these low quality frauds.

“That is not in the requirements”, they say with the most whiny voice.

“They lie like there is no tomorrow on their resumes.
During online interviews they have been known to have someone feeding them answers out of camera range.”

I have seen them copy job descriptions directly to their resumes.

I actually ran into this problem with my dentist’s new assistant. I suspected poor English skills, but with the accent, it was hard to tell if she really responded to my questions.
Then she screwed up with the liquid numbing agent, some of which I accidentally swallowed. I snore mildly at night, but essentially experienced apnea AWAKE.
I could breathe out but not in. I tried to say I was choking. Signaled it with hands on my throat. She asked questions I couldn’t understand. Had to force my way up and out of the chair, intentionally knocking things over to get the attention of others who might be able to help.
I almost passed out.
Sitting upright and forward, my airway cleared enough for me to breathe. Once I could speak, she asked what had happened. I explained. “You didn’t tell me what was wrong.” “I couldn’t breathe.”
I told the dentist that the language barrier made her a threat to my safety as demonstrated by this incident. That she could not understand patients well enough to do her job.
I was called racist by the *)#&*!@.
I reminded everyone present that I just choked and nearly passed out because of her mistake AND inability to understand a patient saying she’d messed up anesthesia. If I’d been semi-sedated, I’d probably be dead.
I do not use that woman anymore.
