"The indentured-servitude nature of the H-1Bs is extremely attractive to employers. Not only might they accrue large savings in salary, but the H-1B also cannot leave their projects in the lurch by jumping to a competitor. It is no wonder that the industry did not support legislation in 1998 that would have greatly reduced the time it takes for an H-1B to get a green card. Even immigration attorneys have publicly pitched this 'loyalty' of the H-1B workers," he said.
