This add was running in the Washintonpost this past sunday. It appears that they are exclusively fishing for H-1B visa employees who they can exploit instead of Ameican citizens.

This is the ad:

MORTGAGE - Expanding co. in Silver Spg. looking for H-1B visa holders. Will sponsor new candidates or continue to sponsor from other financial fields, strong English skills a must. Spanish or Portuguese a plus.

Isn't this against the law to specifically seek out foreign workers instead of American citizens? Anybody, any thoughts on the legality of this? I find it hard to believe in the hot Washington dc real estate market that they cannot find Americans to fill this job. It appears that they are not advertising to fill a specific job since the ad is so vague, it seems more likely that they are seeking out H-1B's specifically. Some type of scam, maybe? Scam Immigration lawyers?

Since it is illegal to discriminate due to age, sex, race, religion, or national origin, I'd say that it IS illegal.

Curiously, most of the advertisements I see specifically state NO H1-B's or sponserships.
