It's funny that i should read that. On a conference call we had yesterday there was much discussion on the HB1 visa issue..which is the work visa that was created in the 1990's to attract the "best and brightest" to the US for brain power. Last year it took 2 months to give out the 65K visas.. this year, it was increased 133K and they were gone in 1 day. 45% were used by companies that have huge outsourcing companies in India. Once the HB1 visa is issued, the visa holder has 5 years to apply for a green card. Turns out the trend is that the HB1 visa holders over the last 7 years (2 years of tracking) 70% never apply for green cards but take their learned US knowledge back to Madras and apply it there to get US and UK companies to outsourse their jobs overseas.

Our govt is sooo fucking brilliant.
