H1B Visas - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

-- Amateur Radio
-- Anecdotes, Gripes & Humor
-- Antennas
-- CAE, CAD, & Software
-- Circuits & Components

From CEO of Actel...

Why aren't US youth studying science ?

--

"The U.S. has installed a cap of 65,000 people. That cap was met this March for the entire year," he says."Many young people graduating today from universities with science degrees are foreign nationals. They are unable to work at an American company without that visa," he adds. "Companies are unable to apply for additional visas until October of this year. That means the entire hiring season for new college grads, from March through summer, has been complicated. We are unable to hire many of the interesting new college grads coming out this year."

Why are so many of the engineering grads foreign nationals? "I wish to heaven I knew," says Robertson. "This country must figure out ways to motivate more American students to enter engineering schools to develop the people we need, because these issues cannot stop our industry."
