There are many students with Master's degree or PHD degrees from other than computer fields. The majority of the consultants belongs to Computer Fields. Because of the shoddy computer companies and consultants, the real talents within the US (Indian students) are not able to secure H1-B visa. And they are under tremendous pressure of leaving USA without finding Jobs. The students or people without talents or higher degree from other countries are most benefited due to H1-B laws. And genuine persons suffer the most. We as a community needs to find a solution to lash out on the fake companies and jobs which work as middle men and loot the money from people in India and USA.

Students going to the US, dont you tell me you guys are superior than a 3 year experienced guy from india. Students are just taking a different path to the USA. There are so many universities in the US who offer a seat for any graduates (i mean any, he can even be a guy who finished his degree in 6 years) just for the fees they get. Two years study and end with a job in the USA. You guys are paying the universities and people here are paying the consultants. thats all is the difference. http://timeforblog.blogspot.com/

I agree with the two of you above. Many US universities, even some reputed universities, give admission to unqualified applicants simply because they are rich and are able to pay the fees. And these "shady" students have trouble in surviving the tough academics of US universities, but succeed in creating trouble for genuine students. Those who somehow survive again "pay" consultants to get jobs, further increasing competition for the genuine students. Ultimately, it is the genuine student who suffers.
