H-1B visas must end’: Wife of US citizen shares plight of landing IT jobs

[r3alist]

You could take top 10% of China and supplant it on 90% of India or 90% of Pakistan. The results won't be good.

Indonesia is a good example. They have talented Chinese population around 2%. They have no luck pulling Indonesia up. Indonesia does not look bad because they have a lot of natural resources.

Then that says more about what the top 10% have been doing the past few decades.

The whole point of an elite is to act as a vanguard, that's an elite worth having

Muhammedbhai, What is going on? Why is your fellow Irani recruiting Indians, and not your friendly neighbour?

MSN

A US-based co-founder and CTO has dismissed concerns over the proposed $100,000 annual H-1B visa fee, joking that he would pay the amount “per day” if needed. The comments by Shahriar Tajbakhsh of London-headquartered Metaview AI come amid a social media stir triggered by Metaview’s hiring campaign in India — the hub of H-1B talent — despite growing anti-H-1B sentiment in the US.

Responding to a post on X that suggested that the H-1b visa fee should be $100,000 per year, and not a one-time fee, Tajbakhsh wrote, “Make it per day. I’ll set up a recurring payment,” signaling that the fee is insignificant compared to the value skilled workers bring to his company.

Moreover, his company shared posters in India, which read “Yes, we still sponsor H-1Bs” and “No, AI won’t build itself,” which were widely shared online. It made Metaview stand apart in an industry where visa sponsorship is increasingly viewed as a liability.

‘Trying to save money on talent is irresponsible’

Tajbakhsh, an Iranian-origin tech entrepreneur and engineer, emphasised that talent is non-negotiable for building transformative products.

"When you sum up the value created by people's hard work, $100,000 just doesn't matter. The only way to build anything meaningful that changes people's lives is to have a world-class team — there's no shortcut around that. Trying to save money on talent is the most irresponsible thing a founder could possibly do," he told Business Insider earlier this year.

Why the $100,000 H-1B fee doesn’t matter

For Tajbakhsh, the debate over visa costs misses the bigger picture. He also confirmed that Metaview plans to submit more H-1B petitions in the next lottery, despite US President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at tightening visa norms. "An organisation's success or failure is a function of its people," Tajbakhsh said.

This is really quite a sad fishing attempt

The guy represents I suppose a UK London headquartered company, with very modest revenue, I think in the tens of millions, what he says versus what he could do.

At least he got your attention and some additional publicity

Instead of "ending" H1Bs, America should shut down "immigration" altogether. Shut down American ports for foreigners. America for Americans.

nothing ever is real or truthful in the world of:

1. Visa specially when cheap workforce is the subject; and
2. AI or any other field other than manufacturing or medical.


based on 6 years of experience living abroad!

I have seen people hiring models as 'talents'!

in fact, in regard to visa, there is hardly anything which is without corruption or deceit!

The thing is, he can pay 100,000 per day, but even if he pays 100,000 per year, he will not remain competitive and go out of business very soon.

And based in the UK.

It's a silly article to cite. Soul bro gets his bait however.

it seems scamming the systems is not just related to H1B, it runs through their culture!

Retarded post. Your CPP is your contribution, it's your money. You could retire to Bahamas and still get your CPP and many Canadians retire and move to Florida and they receive their CPP back.

I am going to assume there are "retired" Canadians in USA too? Are they considered scammers too? Imagine getting called a "scammer" for spending your own money.

You can't fix some people.

so, every post of mine is retarded and irrelevant!

haha!

 

[Mighty_Dragon_Strike]

I hear every argument. Nothing convincing enough for how it is bad. It is weird because the attention span of an outrage is shorter than the next big thing. Also what exactly is the outrage about? "Smart people are taking our jobs". The age old stupid argument of a loser who can't compete.

retarded, irrelevant, unwanted BS post

Not that it matters to you, but we have retired Canadians in my neighborhood. One family at the end of the street from us. The other the next street over.

Instead of "ending" H1Bs, America should shut down "immigration" altogether. Shut down American ports for foreigners. America for Americans.

What would be wrong with that? I know people who would support that without hesitation.

Yet, two facts remain:

1. The US still has a shortage of skilled labor in many areas. Several of which I've already listed.
2. H-1B people will accept a lower salary than a similarly skilled US worker.

Let's make that a 3rd "fact", more like a postulate:

3. H-1Bs are not necessarily higher skilled or qualified than a US worker. That ties directly into #2 above.
