Earlier this year, a staff reporter from SHRM interviewed me, my VP of HR and several KBACE employees who are on H1-B visas. It was an interesting experience, and I think we finally got the proper message across - that hiring using immigrant visas is a necessary part of working in the technology industry, not a necessary evil as many would portray it but just a part of doing business. I think the quote attributed to our VP is actually something I said, as I kept repeating this message.
One thing that was part of the employee interviews but not a theme of her article is the extreme level of uncertainty that employees live under while in the green card process. I can't imagine living in limbo and constant fear that you will be required to return to your home country, if you lose your job or your applications are not approved.
