I've read a lot of posts about people being "personally" "replaced" by an H1-B

and so you think we are all lying about it ????

NO! But everything I read here leads me to believe the incidence of violations is through the roof, but no one is getting busted for it. I have hired H1-B's in the past (non-IT positions), and I followed both the spirit and the letter of the law. I would have no problem with violating companies being brought to their knees.

My contract ended last week, so I'm another displaced IT worker hustling for another job.

So far, I have had two job interviews last week and two more scheduled for this week. I have also submitted my resume at http://www.usajobs.com where U.S. citizens ONLY can apply.

I also reformatted my resume so that it's easier to read. On the first page I have a list of all my skills, divided into categories: software, hardware, operating systems, languages. I have also bolded the skills in the "experience" section so that, if they get past first page, they see exactly how I acquired and used those skills.

Oh yes, and I pray every day that G-D will provide for my family and not allow us to become destitute.
