Too bad the Indian programmers don't understand requirements, meet bare minimum standards for programming, and leave code in their wake that is not documented, badly coded, and often requires complete rework.

The Indian programmers understand the requirements because we put American project managers in place who are scrupulous about defining every detail.

Our subsidiary is Level 5 certified which, if you know anything about software certification, is the highest level achieveable.

All code done by our subsidiaries is fully documented, and we do post-project audits at 30 days, 45 days, 60 days, and 90 days.

We've had to do no rework; in fact, our repeat business from existing customers is nearly 75%.

As I said, our company does not use H1-B programmers. All of our programmers are in India, South Africa, the Phillipines or Malaysia and program via a secure ISL link.

I'm talking about offshore outsourcing, not H1-B.

IF your company is doing as you state, you are the exception, not the rule, for either H1Bing or outsourcing.

My personal experience has been that local H1Bers code is bad, and remote workers' code has been worse.

Even so: in your spare time, do you run a shoe factory using Chinese labor? or do you not see the parallel?
