I dont see the name of my company in this list

I'm strongly considering that. 17 years in the US, $550k in annual pay, $750k+ in taxes paid in the last 15 years, American-born kid but I still don't have the freedom to switch jobs at ease or even take a break between jobs, start my own business or work at a small startup, take part-time jobs from advising companies, rent my place out on Airbnb, etc. My wife, who teaches special needs kids, cannot work soon after H…
Why have not you applied for EB-5 regional centers, since you have that kind of money? You would have green card by now, had you taken that route. Regional center eb-5 requires $500k. Otherwise, $1M with the proof that 10 Americans are employed.

I like that they have the raw data at https://www.uscis.gov/tools/reports-studies/h-1b-employer-da...
Why is the file size of the 2018 data much smaller compared to the other full years? Are there that many fewer H-1Bs?

For this reason it's critically important to push back when this administration claims to only care about illegality . They are slow walking all immigrants, focusing the brunt of their enforcement activity on black and brown folks, up to and including turning people away from self-deportation processes if they present as white. It is a coordinated effort to delay demographic shifts.
Causing demographic shifts isn't the stated purpose of the immigration system. No presidential candidate would ever run on replacing incumbent demographics with planetary demographics. Are you suggesting that demographic replacement should be the purpose of the US immigration system or the purpose of the immigration system of any country for that matter? To do so would invite an incredible backlash against all forms…

Please don't do this here.
Not sure why this is flagged. I wasn't asking for identifying info just application level detail of e.g. the salary.
I'm a bit puzzled as to how this misunderstanding arose, and it seems like it might be a UI issue. Perhaps it was because the actual flagged comment was collapsed, so it looked like the [flagged] annotation was somehow stuck to yours?

I feel like there's a misreading of the premise of the H-1B program here. If you'll refer to the USCIS website here [0], you'll note that the main prerequisites for the H-1B visa are a) Educated or Licensed b) Paid on par to American workers c) Not impacting the pay of American workers Upon review, it's apparent that the 'visa for people with skills that the American market doesn't have' argument doesn't fly - the re…
It's that (c) that I really take issue with, H-1B workers tend to be paid below par and their immigration status being tied to employment greatly lowers their ability to self-advocate. I also (cynical opinion incoming) think that companies target cultures with less emphasis on self-worth when bringing people in on these. I think people should absolutely be able to immigrate on a fair and just basis but I really disli…

Genuinely curious: Why don't the applicants give up and go back to their home countries ? H1B processing is very slow, Green Cards are taking decades, so is it still worth it ?

Some initial analysis- Of the top 20 employers, the average approval rate was 76%. Most of the employers are outsourcing subcontractors or accounting firms. But there were five employers in the top 20 with 90%+ approval rates: Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple.
Some companies have more initial denials than approvals. For 2019, DELOITTE CONSULTING LLP, Initial Approvals: 298, Initial Denials: 564
Looks like Tata Consultancy went down in 2018 substantially and is coming back up again in 2019.
Tata/Infosys executives and their ilk all belong in prison with their company assets seized and redistributed. There is a place for an H1B program. The effectively indentured servitude program as it exists today has no place in America.
The companies are exploiting loopholes in a system to maximize profits. It is probably one of the softer evil things that companies do.
If anything it is the US govts fault that their lack of regulation has let these bad actors free. You can't ezpect profit seeking companies to not act in their interests. But you should expect your govt. to reign them in when they go out of line.
