I am an American born and bred, now living in India. India has reached the tipping point where the dream here is bigger than the reality in the US. Anyone who has lived there knows how much daily life costs, and how much time you spend working for it, how few friends you have (no, it wasnt cause you were Indian, it is just how America is), and how little time you spent with your family. I am here to make my life here. I am here to help India rush by the US as a superpower. Hopefully the Indian people will take such stewardship of the world and do a better job than the US did :) Don’t worry about brain drain my friends.

But, this year due to lot of RFE's on H1B, consultants are scared to apply for H1bB, even there are ways to benefit from his recession and less number of H1b Visa petitions. 100% agree to the article.

Plus these consultants engage in faking phone interview by paying other smarter persons to take the interview for someone else. Also they are known to contact someone inside a big company who speaks same language and make them hire someone from their consultancy for a bribe in return. This is a big sham and they are spoiling the name of other hard working and honest Indians. Not to mention hard code regionalism where they are Telugu/Tamil First, Indian next. So much for the blood sacrificed by our forefathers for their freedom! No offense meant but Most of these consultants are from TN or AP. This year there have been only 44000 H1B petitions as these consultancies did not file fearing the Iowa style arrests by USCIS. Thank god they could not bribe the US officials, if that was a case then they would have done that too... These consultants have a bad modus operandi ... The moment a project is over these H1B holders are not paid and are put in these pseudo jails 4-8 in a room. I know friends who were denied to keep Internet connection in their rooms (even if they paid for it). Still worse was the dreadful syndication of the owners of the consultancies (mostly in Chicago and NJ) where new projects were awarded only to the people who spoke same language :D (Telugu will get project first for Telugu and Tamil first to Tamil). @Whistleblower – you are absolutely right.
