Vishal I think you are very wrong. We need to stop the H1B Visas, go after the companies for fraud then re-evaluate the enitre program. It has put so many americans out of jobs..Get rid of the H1B Visas

Who is the corp-corp company. I am getting lots of call for IT job. Once they get my resume they never return the call. I have met and exceeded the requirements. Something is not right here.

Fraud needs to be tackled and punished but it doesn't mean the answer is to stop H1B visas. Look at this article http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/03/04/stimulus-20-itâ??s-the-startups-stupid/

@Fed Up; By the way, everyone on H1B visa is not living here without paying taxes. He/She has to pay taxes so don't think they are the burden for taxpayers. They are skilled workers for your information.

@ Anonymous; H1/L1 are "temporary NON-IMMIGRANT" visas. As such, I would add a restriction on any H1/L1 visa holder from bringing his/her entire "immediate family" as dependents. As a Californian, I have seen a dozen ppl arrive here as "immediate family" dependents of an H1/L1 "temporary NON-IMMIGRANT". Absolutely outrageous, especially when caring for elderly family members of H1/L1s becomes the burden of US tax payers.

Visa frauds cannot be stopped fully. Minimally, have the following changes to H1/L1/L2 visa immediately for future Visas: - H1/L1/L2 Candidates work directly (and ONLY) for the company (no staffing firms, head hunters, etc). This will reduce the undue interference of staffing firms/hiring managers on the the hiring process. - Allow free movement of visas to change emmployers without any restriction till the expiry of their Visas. - Do not allow green card processing during the H1/L1/L2 processing. Give them a choice. Either they can stay outside the country, apply for GC or come to the country and stay on H1/L1/L2. - Increase the fine for Visa frauds, and jail terms. - Have a ETS type examination (similar to GRE). - Have the employer send the candidates year end W2 to Immigration authorities. Let the immigration authorities then send it to teh candidate for tax filing. This way, Immigration authorities can make sure the wages are not comprimised in the process. - Make sure, any company cannot have more than 10% employees on temporary visas

The U.S. should suspend issuing any new H1-B Visas until our economy is back on track. That will allow the appropriate federal agencies to track down and deal with any issues regarding fraudulent H1-B visas.
