Hi, Jeff: I'd respectfully suggest this is NotFox and it's NotTechnical, it's Political. It's more appropriate OT than NF, in my opinion. Just my opinion, though; feel free to post your replies as you feel appropriate. I'm surprised you haven't heard about this before. Do a Google search for H1B visa or start with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-1B_visa I've worked with companies employing people with H1B visas for some time. Some are good, some not so much. Some are taken advantage of by their employers. The article above suggests that it's a bit more balanced now.

On the internet, no one knows you're from Boise. Or Burma. Or Bangalore. We're going to compete with these folks whether it's on home turf or on the web. I think the program was a well-intentioned attempt to let in a limited number of "experts" in under-resourced industries.
