    H1-B visas are 3 years plus 3 year extension. In 6 years time, a person can go from a trained but entry level skilled position to a mid-level position or better.

      It’s not about career progression. It’s about not being able to settle down in the states when your visa is finished. There’s no automatic qualification for permanent residency just because you’ve spent 6 years there

        You’re missing my point. It’s a job that’s off the market to qualified citizens for 3 to 6 years, on the basis of corporate fraud.

          Well the initial article and discussion was about declining population due to it being difficult to migrate to the states and get residency. You may have a point about the job market, I’m not an expert on the American situation, it just wasn’t what we were discussing to begin with.
