Very true!... 150k+ used to be the norm, but not anymore ..tons of H1's to choose from. Only if you have some special skill, etc.. I'm over the 160K, but I'm in a unique situation as an SME on a few of the companys major system for many years. |

I completely agree with you. I am sorry ( from the bottom of my heart ), as an Indian, since I personally see the systemic as well as systematic abuse of these visas. India might not be the only country doing it but they do lead it from the front. H1BForAll does not understand the fact that even if 30K falsified H1s and another 40-50K falsified L1s enter the system, over the last 10 years, that is significant given that they bring their families along with them. By the way, Stephen, one community of Indians that are heavily involved in this are the Telegu community. Trust me they are 90% of the Indian populace. It is the single direct purpose of their lives to come to the US. Do you know the reason? They get humongous amount of money as dowry(bribe) when they marry if they work in the US. That money is in dollar millions most of the time. So the single objective of the Telegu young man is to come to the US and that destroys their moral radar since with a tunnel vision they come here. They dont want to assimilate. They create falsified resumes, they get help from the entire community if needed. I personally know of cases where Telegus have denied accidents after the reaching home, left apartments without paying due, put in more people than they should, created false resumes for their wives, overoccupy apartments and under report. They have been caught watching multiple movies at the price of a single ticket, duped women here, duped businesses. Sorry for the rant. But it is entirely true |

Public Trusts are not clearances. They are background investigations. You are correct that some agencies allow non-citizens to work after completing a public trust investigation. |

Not for Indian body shops. Especially ones that do not exist I traveled across New Jersey today and investigated three of the Indian bodyshops that @a_know_nothing uncovered last week. The ones that have dozens of LLCs and other corporations registered to the same address and contract with Meta and other major corporations. I was not able to get access to the bodyshop interiors as you could only enter with an appointment (how one gets an appointment with a corporate entity that does not list its phone number or any other contact information is anyone's guess). However, I discovered several suspicious things at all of them: 1) Many of the bodyshops were not listed in the buildings' public directories, either in the lobby or on the floor where they are supposedly headquartered. I don't know if this is illegal, but it's incredibly shady. 2) When I asked for directions, other people working in those buildings didn't know that the bodyshops were even there. When I asked one receptionist about a bodyshop registered to the suite where she was working, she gave me a confused look and asked if I was in the right place. 3) The bodyshop employees I did run into in suite lobbies were all Indians, save for a couple of receptionists. 4) The suites themselves were too small to house the number of businesses registered to them, assuming they have staffers and contractors on site. Bodyshop Address 1: 33 South Wood Ave. Ste 600, Iselin, New Jersey This bodyshop is located just outside the Metropark NJ Transit stop and has 30 firms registered to the same address. The lobby had a mixed crowd of whites, Asians, and other races, but the sixth floor (where Suite 600 was located) was entirely Indians save for the receptionist, a black woman in a hijab. I was unable to get many decent pics due to the receptionist telling me I needed an appointment, but this pic shows the directory outside the elevator and it notably omits most of the bodyshops registered to the address, such as Aarav Solutions Inc. and BrainHR IT Solutions Incorporation. itself appears to be a major hub of Indian bodyshops; TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) is headquarted a few blocks away from 33 South Wood Ave. |

Bodyshop Address 2: 30 Knightsbridge Rd. Ste. 525, Piscataway, New Jersey This building had considerably less activity, but the few people I saw in the lobby and elsewhere were primarily Indian. None of the 27 bodyshops registered to Suite 525, such as American Vassal LLC (God what a name), were on the building's registry, nor were they listed outside of the suite itself. There were odd instructions taped to the front door telling anyone coming in to "call [their] contact" before speaking to reception. There were a number of other odd-sounding companies that WERE listed as being based at Suite 525, such as Great American Driving School LLC (whose website redirects me to a spam site). |

Bodyshop Address 3: 5 Independence Way Ste. 300, Princeton, New Jersey This address set off the most red flags for me. For one, everyone I ran into in the building save for the Asian receptionist was Indian. Second, like the Iselin address, most of the 29 bodyshops registered to Suite 300 (such as Adya Technologies Inc.) were not listed on the building's directory. The suite itself was eerily empty, with none of the public facing offices being occupied, and the only business listed on the front door was 5 Independence Princeton Office, LLC ("Free Money LLC" vibes). Additionally, I ran into some shady-looking offices on the first floor, such as Tekskills, Inc. and Kavayah Solutions, Inc. whose offices were similarly empty. I was at this building at 2 in the afternoon on a workday. If you know of these body shops please let people know. They are fraudulent h1b shops |

| Huh? That seems low. I make more than that in a non-tech, internal role at a govt. contractor. |

| Depends what senior means. We have cleared deva making $150k and up depending on years experience. Many making $180 without management responsibilities. But they lead the technical part of a project etc. |

Titles vary, so are not enough to say. Salaries vary with all of the answers to the questions below? How many years experience? Coding in which language? For which platform - Windows, Mac, Linux, Solaris, real-time OS? What are you experienced at coding: Web application? Other application? Real-Time / Embedded? Kernel programming? All of those factor in. |
