Re: Its a scam.....
Totally agree.
I tried on the H1 route and it was notoriously difficult. I have a degree and specialism in a field and, in the end, gave up on moving to the US. A few colleagues managed on an L1 transfer.
The current H1B is filled immediately with low cost resources. I used to manage one of those Indian offshore teams and some of the developers said they were interested in getting into the US on that route. So I'm kind of glad it's been locked down.
