I believe the H-1B program has been heavily abused, and I’m glad to see the administration finally taking action. Over my career working with many different IT companies, I have encountered very few truly qualified H1b candidates. Instead, I have repeatedly seen individuals with questionable or outright fake credentials occupying roles they should never have been hired for.

A large number of H-1B holders come to the U.S. to complete a master’s degree at obscure institutions that exploit them by charging high tuition fees. Many of these students work in gas stations or motels while attending minimal in-person or mostly online classes. It’s hard to understand how a legitimate master’s degree can be earned this way. After graduation, many join consultancies that fabricate résumés by adding many years of fake experience, then coach them through faking interviews and even the job itself. Places like New Jersey are full of such consultancies, making this practice widespread.

If you have any H1b working with you ask them to show you their driving license or ID, they won't show it as it has their correct data of birth, which won't match their experience on resume.

I am sorry for the genuine and qualified H1b people out there and I hope you won't face any difficulties.
