Wisdom can surely not be bought. I've never been disappointed by your comments.

Why are so many of the consultants on this board threatened by them? Do you not have any confidence in your own skill-sets to keep your job or beat the other to a new one? Here is a very simple FACT: There are more available jobs in the US than there are qualified "Americans" to fill them. If you were beaten to a job by someone that needed sponsorship, there's an 85% chance that he/she was just better qualified for the position. The 15% was because the company couldn't afford you and made a "wise", yet unethical, "business decision" to use someone that needed sponsorship because they CAN and WILL low ball them. An ethical decision would be to import talent when there is a shortage, but pay them at market value. The people that require sponsorship are more desperate for work in the US because they get paid peanuts in their own country and because of a shortage in opportunities. I feel bad for them because I know what it was like to be poor in this country. Back home, my grandfather owned an oil refinery and a textile factory. My father was a doctor in our country and we were among the top 10 richest people in the whole country. We owned 3-4 mansions in each city. We came to the US as refugees when the Soviets invaded our country and we gave up everything we ever owned and worked hard for, just for the chance of living. The military now use them as army bases or meeting grounds for the generals. The US wouldn't give my father a job as a doctor so he was forced to become a cab driver for 6 years till he studied English and Medicine all over again to pass the "American Exams". We are now considered middle to upper middle class. AT first, there were 7 of us living in a small 2 bedroom apartment. One bedroom was for my mother and father and the other was for my aunt, my 3 siblings and myself. Barely ate at times. Not a great neighborhood. I have worked hard in my short life and learned so much and am willing to give up my position to someone that was more qualified than me, even if he or she required sponsorship. I am all for the H1 professionals in this world, especially in this country and those willing to give up a lot to come for an opportunity here. Only the weak feel threatened.
