Yes there is a problem with how H1Bs are abused by some companies. This should be fixed.
BUT. The total number of H1Bs is 700K. It’s 0.4% of the US workforce. If you’re saying that 0.4% people took all your jobs you’re wrong. There is 6.87M open unfilled jobs in the US. This is 10x more than there are H1Bs.
@swaroop_v91@teja2495 It is only going by file extensions right? I want something that looks at the contents of the file instead and organize in a better way. Like I might have pdf of shopping receipts, immigration docs, travel itinerary etc. Need to categorize them as such.
The significant factor as to why 88% are Chinese and Indian Nationals is due to the green card backlogs and country caps. Every other nationality is likely able to seek a green card within their first H-1B period if they want to (or within their second at least). Chinese and Indian nationals have to wait to become current.
Here is the May 2025 Dates of Filing chart. While USCIS is not accepting DOF for May, they did in April. It shows when an individual could file their I-485 and seek work authorization and get "off" the H-1B if they went this route.
@sundarpichai@googlemaps It still takes 3+ months and counting for a new construction address to show up on google maps. Waze did it in 2 weeks and apple maps did it in 1 month. Pathetic backend team!
PERM green card processing time just hit 512 days.
That’s ~17 months just for the Department of Labor to review a filing.
Before COVID it was 4–6 months.
And that’s after:
• Prevailing wage (4–6 months)
• Recruitment process (2–3 months)
Total time before USCIS even sees the case?
2+ years.
The backlog is becoming structural.

According to Suryakumar Yadav, you cannot question place of Tilak Varma in India's XI who is batting at strike rate below 130 since Jan 2025 but they can definitely drop Axar Patel who is India's vice-captain at this world cup & also had great great impact in India's WC 2024 & CT 2025 winning compaign.
Make it make sense!!
@sardesairajdeep How do you explain washi over axar despite axa'sr record in icc tournaments and not to forget t20 wc 2024 batting contribution in final against the same SA team.
If H-1B were a true replacement program that cut native tech jobs to the bone, then after 35 years of it being widely used in tech, we should see - Near-zero native-born tech workers
But that’s not reality.
According to the latest BLS data:
Total computer and information technology employment in the U.S. is about 5.3 million workers.
(source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, latest Occupational Employment Statistics)
The number of H-1B holders in tech at any given time is roughly 600–800k (and not all of them are in tech — some are in other STEM roles).
Math makes this clear:
Tech workforce ≈ 5,300,000
Max H-1B in tech ≈ 750,000
H-1Bs as % of tech jobs ≈ ~14%
If the program’s sole effect was replacing Americans with cheaper foreign labor, then over 35 years we would have seen native tech workers largely disappear.
The fact that millions of Americans still occupy these jobs means the biggest dynamics driving employment are demand, innovation, and market growth.
In short:
🟢 H-1B is a small slice of the overall workforce.
🟢 Tech jobs have grown, not shrunk, alongside H-1B use.
🟢 There’s no plausible scenario where a visa category this size “wiped out” native tech labor.
That’s why the “H-1B replaced Americans” argument doesn’t hold up when you look at the actual numbers.
