It’s true that the majority of H1B Visas go to Indian IT professionals, largely because India produces a massive number of STEM graduates. But I don’t think this is inherently unfair. The visa is supposed to be based on demand and employer needs, not nationality. If most employers want Indian engineers, then naturally most visas go to them. That said, if the U.S. wants diversity, it could set aside quotas for underrepresented countries. But this may reduce efficiency — companies might end up with workers who are less suited just to tick a diversity box. In my opinion, merit and demand should be the primary drivers, not nationality.

Answered for the Question: "The H1B Visa is often seen as benefiting mostly Indian IT professionals. Should the U.S. diversify the program to ensure equal opportunities for applicants from all countries?"
