The H-1B visa program, essential for skilled workers to work in the U.S., has faced criticism for its lottery system and capped slots. Initially created in 1990, it allows highly skilled individuals, especially in tech, to work temporarily. Even though major companies like Amazon and Google benefit significantly, the system does not guarantee that the most qualified individuals are selected, leading to a call for reform. Questions arise about whether the lottery process effectively captures the best talent and whether the current structure meets the demands of the evolving job market.
Every year, the U.S. government holds a lottery for 65,000 H-1B visa slots, which often leads to disparities in access among potential applicants.
Top tech companies like Amazon and Google heavily rely on H-1B visa holders for their skilled workforce, raising questions about the availability of the best candidates.
