So did the H1B limit go down to 65,000/year from today?

I remember reading that if there wasn't a new law passed keeping the limit at 195k then the H1B limit will fall to 1999 limit 65000/year.

any updates ??

That choice would be independent of the reduction in H1B. You do realize that companies that hire on H1 must meet fair wage level (atleast 95% of what you would pay a U.S. citizen).

I'm on H1B myself.

exactly...and then more americans end up losing jobs ...
and then they fvcking wonder why economy hasn't rebounded since they already decreased the H1B so
there should be MORE jobs available for americans...stupid idiot insect logic.

there are ways to get around that... I work at a company where 75% of the workers here are on H1B, they get sh!t wages. Once they have their citizenship in the US they go find REAL jobs with REAL pay.
