Our contracting firms use H1b to save 25%. This new fee destroys Nike’s contracting model. Leadership will probably try offshoring more but those individuals juggle 3 jobs concurrently and don’t do any real work.

Things have been falling apart the last few years and it’s only going to get worse. This is going to be such a dumpster fire.

Major breaking: Trump finally ends H1B Visa

President Donald Trump is preparing to sign a proclamation today that would impose a new $100,000 fee on H-1B visa applications, in one of the most sweeping overhauls yet of the program central to the US technology industry, according to a report by Bloomberg.

The proclamation would also eliminate the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program, which will affect 1.5 million people, and replace the current lottery-based selection process with a highest-bidder system.

Sept 19 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump plans to impose a new $100,000 application fee for H-1B worker visas, a White House official said, potentially dealing a big blow to the technology sector that relies heavily on skilled workers from India and China.

Lenovo took down internal job postings for H1Bs

After the DOJ encouraged people to report employers who were targeting foreign employees Lenovo took down many job postings for visa holders only. I remember seeing many posts where you couldn’t click apply because they were reserved for foreign workers. Also at the building 8 entrance in RTP they would print and tape jobs that were for foreign workers only on the door.

H1B concubines (H1b favoritism, Bias, workplace credit fraud)

My boss is all in on using H1Bs, even with citizens and green card holders on the team who have the same skills. He’s literally taking work from U.S. employees and putting an H1B's name on it. The H1Bs aren't even doing the real work; they're just shadowing and secretly managing us.

This was never an issue for me before, but with layoffs happening everywhere and U.S. workers being the target, I'm worried. I already know HR is a dead end. I tried complaining to my second-line manager, and it just backfired. Now they just see me as a complainer and not assigning much work at all.

Any advice on what I can do at Oracle? Is there any way to report this H1B fraud to USCIS? or Silently move-on is the best solution ?
The main cause of this H1b fraud is an asian manager sitting at top and showing bias.

On Tech Labor Imports

The h1b program afects the american workforce in big ways. Any action on this is way too late, it still needs to be done ASAP.

it's not only about grads who cant get jobs...

many experieenced workers are LR'ed or pushed aside.

We often even train replacements!!!

people with years of dedication lose out, not for lack of talent.

the program is pure fraud, big outsourcers (infy, tata, accenture, etc.) scoop up almost all visas. this is a business model for them, had it not been for this program they would not be able to compete.

This happens because companies chase cheaper, easier labor over domestic skill.

the US worker is the party that loses.

New Visa Scam: O-1 and OPT

The new visa scam by those who have OPT (Optional Practical Training) when they don't get picked via the H1B lottery, is to apply for O-1 visa. So many are now applying for O-1 visa since they couldn't get in to USA workforce through H1B. The approval rate of getting an O-1 visa is 95%. Normally their are 20K applicants, and most are approved. I don't know what type of EXTRAORDINARY ABILITY (required for O-1) these foreign engineers and researchers have that US Citizen PhD or Masters graduates don't have. THE ENTIRE USA VISA SYSTEM HAS BECOME A SCAM FROM THOSE COMING FROM MAINLY INDIA AND CHINA, TAKING AWAY AMERICAN JOBS FROM AMERICANS.

Intel as an Employer

You probably already know this, working there.

Since BK and ACT, Intel has been hyperfocused on getting more work for the same or less money. ACT, the layoff when no layoff was necessary was the give away, but there were other things, like the focus on H1B’s. I don’t need to tell you it’s destroying the company; first you focus on getting a labor force that can properly fulfill your task needs and then you work on containing costs, especially when your product is a fragile cash cow. But instead our leadership considers labor to be “the only cost we can cut”

LBT is 100% on this and I’m sure you figured out on your own it’s just going to get more and more miserable as time goes by. The only way you can resist is leaving (but they love attrition)

Verizon sounds a lot like Walmart and their H1B Scandal!

Since we know that the FCC is following along to:

https://www.wnd.com/2025/08/bad-optics-walmart-scandal-exposes-deeper-immigration-hiring/

Walmart is reeling after revelations that a vice president in its Global Tech division allegedly pocketed bribes worth tens of thousands of dollars per day from Indian staffing firms. The scheme, exposed not by auditors but through anonymous posts on Blind and Reddit, led to the abrupt termination of about 1,200 contractors many believed to be on H-1B visas. The episode has sparked questions not only about corporate governance at America's largest retailer, but also about how deeply Walmart has relied on foreign labor pipelines to fill U.S. jobs.
