#H1B

A massive Ongoing Trend... you need to take action..

To those who believe their layoff is Unjustified..
Whether it is a fake PIP program based layoff or direct layoff, if you had a good track record yet you were laid off because you are a US Citizen while the manager wants to fill your position with a H1B visa holder..

As per USCIS's Employment visa rules, employers 'vouch' that there is no equivalent American citizen available, hence they are sponsoring a foreign national for H1B visa.

But the reality is quite different. Just produce the facts related to Fiserv i.e. how many US citizens were laid off while Fiserv continuously sponsoring H1B visas and majorly Green Cards where they prove to US DOL with complete documentation that absolutely there is no citizen available for that position and ONLY that particular foreign national is the PERFECT fit that position to get the PERM clearance. How fake it can be these days..

Just provide the facts to USCIS and copy to Stephen Miller White House Deputy Chief of Staff for policy and Homeland Security, Copy to local DOL's authorities.

HR Schills will delete this message before it is read by others..

#Layoff #H1B

Management Preference of L1 Over Residents

Seeing massive movement by management to bring people from IDC => USA by using L1 visa. This helps them to get over the 100k H1b rule by first bringing people inside using l1 visa and then following year applying for H1b visa. Given the layoffs have always targeted residents over visa holders. Now even new grads using F1 won't get a chance. There must be a way to report this as well ?

Alternative layoff yeah through UST

Elevance rebadged several of us to UST and that too without severance. Now within a year we have been let go.
Several of us are US citizens and since we were rebadged, the UST layoffs are overly biased against US citizens. UST is a H1B first company and how is it legal to layoff a US citizen while employing 100s of H1Bs and several of them in the same role as mine?
Do we have any legal rights? Does Elevance have any responsibility and liability in this? Where can we complain about this? What protections do US citizens have?

Oracle - get ready for H1b audit

We noticed lots of greencard and US citizens were laidoff where H1b in same team survived. This seems one of favoritism for low cost worker. Filed a case for this.
Seems lots of H1b frauds floating around in Texas and Nashville and Oracle is hiring H1b's here ...
The Indian managers who held H1b and laidoff US residents should be questioned.
Lots of news floating around on H1b fraud now.

Layoff is Minimal

Honestly, Oracle’s layoffs weren't even that deep, but they’re definitely still ghosting some projects. Now they’re in this weird spot where they need bodies in Nashville, but they're being cheap and won't shell out $100k for new people, so they’re just recycling H-1B staff to save cash. If you’re a boss there, you’re basically safe from the next round of cuts as long as your team is mostly offshore or visa-heavy. This whole mess is probably just gonna stay the same until October or maybe early next year.

Sue for anything, sue for everything...

I guess this is the revenge phase of layoff grief... sue because of H1Bs, sue because of RSUs, sue because your blue... I have never seen so many posts regarding potential litigation yet no one has provided any proof. You will need proof when you get to court. Don't forget the law suit will show up in public records so win or lose it will show up in your next pre-employment background check. Are you going to sue again when your potential future employer suddenly doesn't hire you?

The Future of Work Now

Sharing an interesting article on the current future of work and what it now means for U.S. workers, American citizens, new graduates, and the accelerating role of AI.

'https://ifspp.substack.com/p/graduating-into-second-place?utm_medium=email'

Summary:
The trends highlighted in "Graduating Into Second Place" reveal a labor market undergoing a structural shift that disadvantages American workers—especially new college graduates—long before AI enters the picture.

The article points to a widening employment gap between U.S. citizens and foreign graduates in STEM fields, driven largely by federal visa programs that incentivize employers to hire lower‑cost, visa‑dependent labor. These programs, particularly STEM OPT and H‑1B, have become embedded in corporate hiring strategies, creating a parallel workforce pipeline that increasingly displaces domestic talent at the entry level.

For U.S. graduates, the consequences are immediate and sobering. Even after earning advanced degrees, many find themselves competing not only globally but domestically against workers whose employment is subsidized through tax advantages and regulatory structures. The traditional promise—that education leads to stable, upwardly mobile careers—is eroding as entry‑level roles are offshored, outsourced, or filled through visa channels designed to reduce labor costs.

AI compounds these pressures. While the article argues that AI is not the primary driver of current disparities, its rapid adoption accelerates the same dynamics: fewer junior roles, more automation of foundational tasks, and a corporate preference for leaner teams supported by global labor markets. For U.S. workers, this means fewer on‑ramps into professional careers and a steeper climb toward mid‑career stability. For new graduates, it signals a future where opportunity is shaped less by merit and more by policy choices that prioritize cost efficiency over cultivating the domestic workforce.

Oracle Files Thousands of H-1B Visa Petitions Amid Mass Layoffs

Oracle, the software company headquartered in Austin, Texas, has filed thousands of petitions for H-1B visas in the past two fiscal years, even as it lays off thousands of American workers as part of a broader organizational shift. Federal data shows Oracle filed for 2,690 H-1B visas in fiscal year 2025 and 436 so far in fiscal year 2026, totaling over 3,100 visa requests.

H1-B Visa Renewals by U.S.Bank down 80% since last year

Last year, U.S. Bank made a decision that hasn't been widely reported: they chose not to renew H1-B visas for a number of their H1-B staff (~80%). This action, which technically amounts to a termination, is based on the date when these employees initially entered the country or started their jobs with U.S.Bank (3 year Visa term).

H1B vs offshoring

When I was hired at USB about 5 years ago I was surprised by the number of people were offshore. Also surprised by the number of employees who were from India or other countries. Didn’t really think much of it until I was the last American born person on my team of 10 and I was the one part of a larger RIF.
Anyone know if the bank is limiting H1B now that their plan is to ramp up the offshoring jobs to India? Anyone know any H1Bs who have been part of a RIF?

#H1B #Offshoring #Layoffs

Bring on the lawsuits.

For every American laid off and on boarding H1Bs at the same time.

Every H1B visa holder and Green card petitioner's visa and applications need to be cancelled immediately.

If not for yourself, this needs to be the done for the younger unemployed or recently graduated americans. Enough of this sh-t.

#Lawsuit #H1B #Layoffs

Why dont we hire people from here?

Local American professionals are in surplus and jobless but we are paying more in visa fees instead of hiring people from here. Non-American managers prefer to hire non-American staff working here in the US, where Americans must be considered first. I cannot believe companies are unable to find people to do the job, there are folks here with even better skills.

#H1B #Hiring #VisaSponsorship #Policy

I NO LONGER CARE.....

Fiserv has a few H1B holders that are spying or other companies or countries. Not sure if they are part of the same group. Cyberteam in the United States please be aware of this if not already aware. I am just trying to make it to my Fiserv layof or exit plan. I personally now carry language translator and keep it on at all times because of all the foreign languages spoken on the work floor and on conference calls all the time, which is an HR violation.

How to Get the Justice You Deserve

If you are a U.S. citizen or green card holder and feel you’ve been unjustly treated—whether through biased performance evaluations, wrongful termination, or being passed over for promotions—especially when H-1B workers are in your team, know that there are legal channels ready to support and protect you. Your rights deserve to be defended, and you don't have to stand alone. You have a voice, and there are avenues to fight for the fair treatment and justice you are entitled to:

  1. U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)


The EEOC stands as a safeguard against workplace discrimination. If you’ve been unfairly dismissed or treated differently because of the presence of H-1B workers in your team, you have every right to file a charge with them. No worker should be sidelined or mistreated.

  1. U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)


The DOL ensures that U.S. workers are protected against any unfair treatment. Employers are legally obligated to prioritize American workers for hiring and retention. If you’ve been bypassed for an H-1B worker or unfairly dismissed, the DOL will investigate violations and hold employers accountable.

  1. State Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPAs)


Many states have their own agencies to fight workplace discrimination and unfair dismissal. These agencies are there to ensure that U.S. workers’ rights are respected. Check your state’s official website to find out how you can take action.

  1. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)


The NLRB steps in when unfair treatment involves collective bargaining or labor issues. If you believe that U.S. workers are being dismissed in favor of H-1B employees, the NLRB can investigate and take action to ensure fair labor practices.

  1. Contact Your Elected Officials


You have the power to demand accountability from your elected representatives. Write to your Congressman or Senator to raise your concerns. They can fight for your rights, bring attention to the unfair treatment of American workers, and push for legislative changes to prevent such abuses.

  1. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)


It is illegal for employers to displace U.S. workers in favor of H-1B workers or to keep H-1B workers on staff while laying off U.S. employees. If you have evidence of this, you can report these violations to USCIS for thorough investigation and enforcement.

  1. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)


The presence of H-1B workers from countries that are adversarial to U.S. national security can expose companies and industries to significant risks—from intellectual property theft to potential espionage. If you suspect that there’s foreign influence or other national security threats in your workplace, it’s important to report this to ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

  1. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)


If you suspect that H-1B workers or employers are engaging in illegal practices, such as manipulating hiring processes, violating labor laws, or committing immigration fraud, you must report it to the FBI. These coordinated efforts can harm the integrity of our workforce, and the FBI is equipped to investigate and bring justice to any parties involved in criminal activity.

American workers deserve fairness, respect, and opportunity. If you feel you’ve been unfairly treated because of the presence of H-1B workers, you have the right to stand up for yourself and fight for your rightful place in the workforce. Don’t stay silent—take action today, and help restore the integrity of our job market.

Various Levers for Bringing Down Corporation Like This

Need to some reach on mass scale various groups and educate them on how corporation is failing their mission, customer base, and employee wellbeing:

1) Medicare Membership — Educate on Failure to Pay Catastrophic Claims or Expensive RX
2) Employees — Layoffs on US Citizens and replacing by means of AI and Outsourcing and H1B Visas. Is it time for an Employee Union?
3) Shareholders — are executives being legal and honest and forthright in their dealings and state of the company? Is there any insider trading going on by executives? Are there stock buybacks to mislead shareholders as to the state of the company’s health?
4) Government Officials — Seeing as how Medicare is funded with tax payer dollars, reach out to Mayor, Governor, State and Federal Senators and House of Representatives.
5) Church Pastors and Church Membership — Educate them on how Humana is failing their flocks in time of need from a healthcare standpoint.
6) Local and National News Lead Reporters — as to delay and denying of claims, disgraceful large executive salaries, and major layoffs of good employees, including military veterans.
7) Better Business Bureau, AARP, etc.
8) Unions such as Teamsters — as to how start a union for nurses and other employees.
9) SEC — as to any known insider trading you may be aware of.
10) Lawyers — File lawsuits when Humana has legally wronged you by unlawful termination that you have documented.
11) ICE — report expired H1B Visas or those continuing to work well past the legal amount of time of six years in US.
12) Social Media — get the word out and shame Humana from a PR standpoint about unethical behavior of the company on twitter, facebook, reddit, facebook, tiktok, LinkedIn, etc.

99% perform basic work that does not justify H1B visa

Tech companies have loaded up on H1Bs to keep employees enslaved and threaten US citizens with constant layoffs.

Now Open AI and Anthropic will ensure these companies do not exist in future along with all the H1Bs.

H1Bs are running over each other to prove no one needs to be employed anymore as codex can do all the work.

Coding is no longer a speciality skill for which H1B visa need to be granted.

Revoke all H1B and Green card petitions immediately.
