H1-B Temporary Workers
An H-1B allows you to come to the United States to work for up to 6 years in a “specialty occupation” for a designated employer. A “specialty occupation” is defined as an occupation which requires at least a bachelor’s degree in a specific field. Persons subject to the 212(e) two-year residence requirement are not eligible for a H-1B until the two-year requirement is met or a wavier of the requirement is obtained.
Concurrent Employment
It is possible to have multiple or concurrent employers. However, each employer is required to have an approved H-1B petition for you.

You may begin employment with a new employer upon the filing of the H-1B petition without having to wait for approval of the petition. In order to be eligible for the portability provisions you must meet the following requirements:
- Be in H-1B status
- Be in lawful nonimmigrant status
- Have only engaged in authorized employment
- Your new employer must have submitted a non-frivolous petition before the expiration of your current authorized stay
H-1B Cap
H-1B visas are limited to 65,000 per fiscal year (Oct. 1st-Sept 30th). There are also an additional 20,000 H-1B visas available per fiscal year for those who have earned a master’s or higher degree from a U.S. institution of higher education. Some employers are exempt from the cap (e.g., institutions of higher education, etc.) OHSU is exempt from the H-1B cap as an institution of higher education.

Ugly Greedy Immigrants and IAs: They lie,cheat and Steal to come to US
Ugly ,Greedy Immigrants and Illegal aliens: They Lie Cheat and Steal to get into the US.
“In his monograph Huddled Cliches, Larry Auster warns: “In addition to the millions of people who see the United States as a candy store without a lock, a significant number of immigrants have a conscious animus against this country.
“A very bright Bengali-American college student… told her college English class that the word ‘American’ is ‘Orwellian’ because it imposes an identity on her that she doesn’t feel. ‘I am not an American. I’m Bengali.’”
Those who dare to recognize reality get the Powell treatment. The American elite can’t take the truth today any more than Britain’s could 30 years ago.
In surveying the ruins of a once promising career, Powell stoically commented: “All political careers end in failure. No regrets.”
At least Enoch Powell( see Enoch Rivers of Blood) won’t have to witness the balkanization of his nation. Your children and grandchildren won’t be nearly so fortunate””

Fraud In Foreign Worker Visa Program
Thu, 10/09/2008 – 14:30 — Judicial Watch Blog
An internal government investigation reveals widespread fraud in a special visa program that allows U.S. employers to hire educated foreign guest workers for specialty occupations.
Designed to enable foreign professionals—such as engineers, doctors, scientists and lawyers—make valuable contributions to the American economy, the H-1B visa permits U.S. companies to sponsor them for up to three years. The government annually grants 65,000 H-1B visas, which allow holders to subsequently apply for permanent U.S. residency (Green Card).
But the program is rife with the sort of corruption that undoubtedly compromises national security. A 15-page report, published by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and made public by an Iowa senator this week, reveals that foreign workers forge documents, provide fake degrees and even nonexistent U.S. companies with bogus locations.
Serious violations are so common, according to the report, that one in five visas is affected by either fraud or other “technical” violations. In some cases foreign employees worked at jobs that differed from what they claimed on the visa application. One supposedly highly educated professional from an unnamed country was caught working at a laundromat doing laundry and maintaining washing machines. The report rightfully concludes that the violations represent a “significant vulnerability,” which may seem like somewhat of an understatement.
