Did the role go to H1B?

I am a US citizen. I did an interview for Lead IT Analyst role. It is a remote role in the US. The 2 interviewers were Indians (Telugus). I answered each and every question correctly and I didn’t get the role.

Could the role have gone to someone from their community?

Is there a way to find out?

The Main Moment Humana Began to go Downhill

In my opinion, that start of Humana shifting from being a great place to work to being not so great a place to work are the following three factors entering the scene of the corporation.

—DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion)
—Cloud & AI (Artificial Intelligence)
—Outsourcing (H1B, Overseas, Contracting)

Overseas hiring

Citi and other major companies are hiring lot of people overseas! The diff ratio is huge! No one is talking about this. There used to be some controls on overseas hiring. But the hiring pattern now is a huge concern. I believe it is because of H1B restrictions. Either way, You are cooked! So, you don't allow H1B or L1, it's fine, we will hire there. Cheap labor is always the goal for these corporations. Noone cares about the security and the country.

Fire here, hire there, hire cheap! .🤡

"End H1-B Visa Abuse " Act of 2026

https://crane.house.gov/2026/04/22/rep-crane-introduces-legislation-to-pause-and-reform-the-broken-h-1b-visa-process/

Reps. Brian Babin (R-TX), Brandon Gill (R-TX), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Wesley Hunt (R-TX), Tom McClintock (R-CA), Keith Self (R-TX), and Andy Ogles (R-TN) have signed on as original cosponsors.

It seeks to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. It calls for a three-year halt on new H-1B visas. It also proposes that those holding H-1B visas slowly leave the United States during this time. After the period ends, H-1Bs will resume, albeit with more stringent rules and in fewer numbers.

It mandates employers to certify that they cannot find a qualified American worker to fill the job and that they have not undertaken layoffs. It also calls for a minimum wage for H-1Bs of $200,000 per year

“American workers are being replaced, and cheap foreign labor is the cause. We will not bow down to the corporations, and we will not let Americans become strangers in their own country. End the H-1B scam,” Rep. Ogles added.

Setting a minimum H-1B wage of $200,000 per year
Barring H-1B workers from holding multiple jobs and prohibiting third-party staffing agencies from employing them
Disallowing H-1B workers from bringing dependents to the United States
Prohibiting federal agencies from sponsoring or employing nonimmigrant workers
Ending Optional Practical Training (OPT)
Ensuring nonimmigrant visas remain temporary by prohibiting H-1B holders from adjusting status to permanent residency
Requiring nonimmigrants to depart the United States before changing to another nonimmigrant status

Indian-led H1-B fraud ring

And the guys "happened to be" Indians

A massive Ongoing Trend... you need to take action..

To those who believe their layoff is Unjustified..
Whether it is a fake PIP program based layoff or direct layoff, if you had a good track record yet you were laid off because you are a US Citizen while the manager wants to fill your position with a H1B visa holder..

As per USCIS's Employment visa rules, employers 'vouch' that there is no equivalent American citizen available, hence they are sponsoring a foreign national for H1B visa.

But the reality is quite different. Just produce the facts related to Fiserv i.e. how many US citizens were laid off while Fiserv continuously sponsoring H1B visas and majorly Green Cards where they prove to US DOL with complete documentation that absolutely there is no citizen available for that position and ONLY that particular foreign national is the PERFECT fit that position to get the PERM clearance. How fake it can be these days..

Just provide the facts to USCIS and copy to Stephen Miller White House Deputy Chief of Staff for policy and Homeland Security, Copy to local DOL's authorities.

HR Schills will delete this message before it is read by others..

Management Preference of L1 Over Residents

Seeing massive movement by management to bring people from IDC => USA by using L1 visa. This helps them to get over the 100k H1b rule by first bringing people inside using l1 visa and then following year applying for H1b visa. Given the layoffs have always targeted residents over visa holders. Now even new grads using F1 won't get a chance. There must be a way to report this as well ?

Alternative layoff yeah through UST

Elevance rebadged several of us to UST and that too without severance. Now within a year we have been let go.
Several of us are US citizens and since we were rebadged, the UST layoffs are overly biased against US citizens. UST is a H1B first company and how is it legal to layoff a US citizen while employing 100s of H1Bs and several of them in the same role as mine?
Do we have any legal rights? Does Elevance have any responsibility and liability in this? Where can we complain about this? What protections do US citizens have?

Oracle - get ready for H1b audit

We noticed lots of greencard and US citizens were laidoff where H1b in same team survived. This seems one of favoritism for low cost worker. Filed a case for this.
Seems lots of H1b frauds floating around in Texas and Nashville and Oracle is hiring H1b's here ...
The Indian managers who held H1b and laidoff US residents should be questioned.
Lots of news floating around on H1b fraud now.

Layoff is Minimal

Honestly, Oracle’s layoffs weren't even that deep, but they’re definitely still ghosting some projects. Now they’re in this weird spot where they need bodies in Nashville, but they're being cheap and won't shell out $100k for new people, so they’re just recycling H-1B staff to save cash. If you’re a boss there, you’re basically safe from the next round of cuts as long as your team is mostly offshore or visa-heavy. This whole mess is probably just gonna stay the same until October or maybe early next year.

Sue for anything, sue for everything...

I guess this is the revenge phase of layoff grief... sue because of H1Bs, sue because of RSUs, sue because your blue... I have never seen so many posts regarding potential litigation yet no one has provided any proof. You will need proof when you get to court. Don't forget the law suit will show up in public records so win or lose it will show up in your next pre-employment background check. Are you going to sue again when your potential future employer suddenly doesn't hire you?

The Future of Work Now

Sharing an interesting article on the current future of work and what it now means for U.S. workers, American citizens, new graduates, and the accelerating role of AI.

'https://ifspp.substack.com/p/graduating-into-second-place?utm_medium=email'

Summary:
The trends highlighted in "Graduating Into Second Place" reveal a labor market undergoing a structural shift that disadvantages American workers—especially new college graduates—long before AI enters the picture.

The article points to a widening employment gap between U.S. citizens and foreign graduates in STEM fields, driven largely by federal visa programs that incentivize employers to hire lower‑cost, visa‑dependent labor. These programs, particularly STEM OPT and H‑1B, have become embedded in corporate hiring strategies, creating a parallel workforce pipeline that increasingly displaces domestic talent at the entry level.

For U.S. graduates, the consequences are immediate and sobering. Even after earning advanced degrees, many find themselves competing not only globally but domestically against workers whose employment is subsidized through tax advantages and regulatory structures. The traditional promise—that education leads to stable, upwardly mobile careers—is eroding as entry‑level roles are offshored, outsourced, or filled through visa channels designed to reduce labor costs.

AI compounds these pressures. While the article argues that AI is not the primary driver of current disparities, its rapid adoption accelerates the same dynamics: fewer junior roles, more automation of foundational tasks, and a corporate preference for leaner teams supported by global labor markets. For U.S. workers, this means fewer on‑ramps into professional careers and a steeper climb toward mid‑career stability. For new graduates, it signals a future where opportunity is shaped less by merit and more by policy choices that prioritize cost efficiency over cultivating the domestic workforce.

Oracle Files Thousands of H-1B Visa Petitions Amid Mass Layoffs

Oracle, the software company headquartered in Austin, Texas, has filed thousands of petitions for H-1B visas in the past two fiscal years, even as it lays off thousands of American workers as part of a broader organizational shift. Federal data shows Oracle filed for 2,690 H-1B visas in fiscal year 2025 and 436 so far in fiscal year 2026, totaling over 3,100 visa requests.

H1-B Visa Renewals by U.S.Bank down 80% since last year

Last year, U.S. Bank made a decision that hasn't been widely reported: they chose not to renew H1-B visas for a number of their H1-B staff (~80%). This action, which technically amounts to a termination, is based on the date when these employees initially entered the country or started their jobs with U.S.Bank (3 year Visa term).

H1B vs offshoring

When I was hired at USB about 5 years ago I was surprised by the number of people were offshore. Also surprised by the number of employees who were from India or other countries. Didn’t really think much of it until I was the last American born person on my team of 10 and I was the one part of a larger RIF.
Anyone know if the bank is limiting H1B now that their plan is to ramp up the offshoring jobs to India? Anyone know any H1Bs who have been part of a RIF?

#H1B #Offshoring #Layoffs

Bring on the lawsuits.

For every American laid off and on boarding H1Bs at the same time.

Every H1B visa holder and Green card petitioner's visa and applications need to be cancelled immediately.

If not for yourself, this needs to be the done for the younger unemployed or recently graduated americans. Enough of this sh-t.
