The H1-B is misued to the core. The Desi Consulting companies bring in in-experienced software devlopers posing them having great expereince. They cheat both the US employers and H1-B visa holder. The guys in H1-B visa fake their resume and somehow manage to get a job. They are ready to work for a meager salary of $40,000/- Per annum. This creats lot of problems to the experienced professionals. The average salary for experience guys has come down a lot. US companies does not care for quality now, the managers just want to save money without looking into the ROI (Return on Investment). Many projects gets delayed or cancelled due to Desi software consulting companies. They misue the purpose of H1-B. THIS MUST STOP or will become a grave concern for the whole IT industry in the future.

h1b was annd is the boon for any software professionals. h1b gave life to many people and helped them come about!. All the exploitation and so on is restricted to companies that are designed to do fraud as their business. But for most part many companies work with their US clients to provide experienced professionals and also pay the employee a reasonable salary according to demand vs. supply!. If you see that a professional with a FAKE experience is very much happy to get a job for $40000 PA and using that he leads his life and he gets a break and learns things as well.
So dont be a stupid and put some stupid moral yardstick without understanding what is at stake here.
For Indians it is very straight forward they get salary in dollars, for american companies it is that they get the job done (mostly temporary software project) without having maintain a huge employees and just with contractors and the companies are just enablers!. If you are smart enough you can easily find a great job and grow yourself professionally and personally!.
