Let me start, I hope the new administration doesn’t make H1B program a scapegoat.

Fraud by desi consultants needs to be checked and no one should support the fraud.

As most of us would have invested around 5-10 years, may be they should consider an easier and transparent path to Green cards

Bhaiyya much nai badlega bhai

H1B is not the primary agenda for this or any administration. So it will be status quo for a while

Also, congress passes bills for any comprehensive reforms. So , no, nothing changes as it has been for last 20 + years

Good news for folks on h1b. Hopefully will
Get a breather and rejection rate will come down. Bad news; anyone who got close to getting GC will again have to go back in the line. And. This admin are not going to care about long wait for legal immigrants. Their focus will be Daca and illegal immigrants

Covid and economy will be priority for the foreseeable future. I don’t see Immigration being discussed.

I think no focus on h1b is actually the better, or the best we can expect. Prior to 2016, we hardly had RFE’s, hardly had to think VISA rejection etc. I think we will go back to that time sometime soon. My immediate expectation is to free travel to India, and not much hassle going through visa appointments

On folks with GC or citizenship or who were born here...0 impact either way. Though if you supported Trump, you will be at the buttend of the jokes until inauguration at least
