I think that this is useful for companies who abuse the H1B.

I doubt that any of the big Four (Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple) will have any problem with this, but the consulting body shops will be scrambling.

And, this is something else problematic for startups who want to import talent. You need to have some sort of legal/immigration department to deal with this paperwork, and most startups don't have/can't afford that.



Not directly related, but a friend of mine from India got a J1 visa for an internship at a big four rejected last week.


Sure. I'm just saying that the big four has the ability to deal with this contingency, and backing paperwork and documentation.

You don't get rejected out of hand for not being authorized to work in the USA currently.


Sure you do. Google, Apple and Facebook (and virtually every company in the Bay Area) have all stopped trying to get H1Bs for new grads with degrees from outside the US.

Microsoft is the exception for now.
