My personal experiences over a multi-decade career are that Indian/H1B workers are not sufficiently qualified to merit special status under H1B, especially when domestic IT/Tech workers are, in fact, available. Under the H1B logic every single domestic worker would be employed and heavily recruited (thus reflecting the skills shortfall) rather being passed over for more H1B's.
This is the survey on Indian IT discrimination. This mini-site is broken down into just a few tabs.
