foreigners who have set up shop here keep asking to bring in
more foreigners to take american jobs., this is just slimy as
can be. such americans ae not americans at all but

H1B visa is essential for corporations and non-profit
organizations to hire the best talents from around the world
and to make sure US is the world leader when it comes to
acquiring and retaining top talents. Changing the H1B
selection process from the current lottery system to a wage
based system would negatively impact recent graduates
from top US universities and their ability to stay and
contribute to the US economy. As such this proposed rule
should not come into effect and the current lottery system
(while not perfect by any means) should continue as it is.

Thank you for your opinion. The H-1B nonimmigrant
classification, and the annual numerical limitations on H-1B
nonimmigrants, is set by Congress in the Immigration and
Nationality Act. Therefore, USCIS is not making any changes
to the information collection as a result of this comment.

From my and my employer's observation, we found that
current lottery system is very fragile to fraud and abuse that
are hard to track. In other words, this lottery system has

provided people with an almost no punishment chance to
cheat. We keep seeing people who got fake jobs from
consultancies share multiple registration being selected and
more ridiculously, they don't get any punishment but go
away with stolen H1B visas.
USCIS has unparalleled authority in determining whom to
become next immigrants to build United States and make it
great again. However, with such lottery system, those who
cheat with fake resume and fake job offers are taking away
opportunities from real talents employed by top US
companies and sending them to other countries.

We strongly urge USCIS to change current registration based
lottery system to individual based. This is a simple
mechanism but a very effective one in keeping fair chances
among all applicants so that the real talents can have a
chance to build the great US.

I strongly propose that the current H-1B registration tool to
be based on aliens with number limitation, in order to
prevent H-1B abuses.

Why one individual could file multiple applications? This is
very likely and currently proven to cause fraud and should
stop!
Comment ID USCIS-2008-0014-0564
The system should penalize the winning rate for people
submitting multiple registration via multiple employers. The
chance of getting selected should not be linearly correlated
with number of registration submitted.
Also the system should have a mechanism to investigate the
multiple filing personal to eliminate fraud especially h1b by
consulting company and contractors. The current system is
too easy to be taken advantage of.

It is so **** that one person can register for multiple
registrations for lottery. This is simply abusing the system.
Why don't you just address this issue before moving on to
others?
The below four points will contribute to the ability of USCIS
to "(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses."

2.Improve UI to see all clients at a quick glance (rather than
scroll through long webpage to view a client starting with a
letter in latter half of alphabet)
3.If each year had its own “tab” page, it would be easier to
see current year’s submissions
4.Pre-fill H-1B registrant info from previous year(s) to save
time
