Please someone enlighten me on this:::
With the new law effective from 8th of April 2008, those students who are in "Post graduation OPT" can not stay unemployed for more than 90 days.
I see so many extra talented people here expressing their view who got their job by their own merit. I would like to ask them a simple question: Tell me honestly with the current job market,,, how will those guys be able to find another job within 3 months?? I personally do not see this happening even you might be qualified well enough. Reasons: 1 month for job advertisement. Next, more than a month for couple of round of interviews if selected. "sponsoring h1 or gc" definitely will be an issue to get rejected and most importantly... freshman just out of school. So the only option is to join the consultancy to stay in the safe side.
Don't you guys think,, Senators or law-maker whoever you were referring to, are helping these consultancies instead of tightening things up????

I can smell the arrogance of those who got the job on their own before the new law was in place. Friends,, its easy to give an advise..Explain me, will you be comfortable enough if you were given the same circumstances  at the time you graduated?? I bate you wont be able to find a job in three months period if you were to fired today.

Those who already got h1 but still could not get a job, please......stop crying. They filed your h1 because you could not get a sponsor by your own and now you want them to find a job for you the next day. Certainly they will take time to get good money out of you because they have invested on you.

Those unlucky friends who are in OPT (and working) and were not lucky enough to be selected for h1 this year ::: its just a lottery (which is not supposed to be like that)..and listen folks: "hard-working people do not depend on so called lottery".
