In my Opinion US graduates should be allowed to apply for permanent residency directly. I don't get this quota system. What's the point? If you don't need high skilled people then stop issuing H1B and send everyone home. If you need them let these folks apply for residency period. Eventually most if not all H1B holders will get their residency (or at least that is what they want) that is why most are sticking around here after graduation. So why all this immigration nonsense. First find job get sponsor then again get sponsor to file for green card. If money is the issue just charge $5K upfront to directly apply for residency.
