It's nearly impossible to get a H1 visa for a tech job anymore.

Who told you that....it's simply not true.

I work with this stuff. You can get one renewed if you already have the job, but new ones are very difficult. This is specific to tech, because part of the certification process is that the employer has to advertise the position. These days, any tech position will get hundreds of qualified applicants, which would tank an alien certification. If the applicant were in medicine, on the other hand, it would be virtually automatic.

It has been true in the experience of my company. H1's are much harder now. Even L1's are no longer automatic.
