Answer # 1 #

I don’t think automatic preference is the right answer. The H1B is about filling skill shortages, not rewarding where someone studied. While U.S. education is a strong credential, it doesn’t guarantee that the graduate has the rare or specialized skills the program was intended for. Yes, maybe they deserve some consideration, but preference should be based on skills in demand, not just a degree from a U.S. school. Otherwise, it risks drifting further from the program’s intent.

Answered for the Question: "With many foreign students graduating from U.S. universities, should they automatically be given preference in the H1B Visa lottery as they were educated in the U.S.?"
