Re: It's not about pay

I believe it's 65k, it was when I looked into this in 2016 after the company I worked for laid off all the Devs/ QA and a lot of IT staff to replace us immediately with h1b's from an agency. If they took agencies out the equation it would probably be a more defendable position.

I would be more sympathetic to the allowing genuinely rare/ talented people in but mostly I've seen production staff, even at tier 1, replaced.Research sites showing which companies apply for h1b's seem to back up this view.
