Hi Prakash, Before the Revolutionary war in the thirteen colonies, there was a program of indentured servitude. A person from Europe who wanted to migrate to America would indenture themselves(almost slavery) to a rich colonial in return for a payment of passage on a ship to the colonies. This practice is now in full-force by Tata, Wipro, and Infosys( who consume about 96% of the H1-B visas). The beneficiaries are the well-to-do Indians that own these companies almost in total. The unfortunate losers are those Indian H1-Bs who are not as lucky as you and are in limbo to a globalist U.S. company who has led them to believe that there will be a green card in the future(always just around the corner) and the native born U.S. engineers who can't find a job. Thanks Jim Freeman Chauhan, Prakash wrote: >Hi Agathon, > I am an Indian who used to work for Wipro, in the beautiful city >of Bangalore and was hired by Dell (in Austin) on an H1B visa, 10 years >ago.
