"Some estimates suggest around 33% of H-1B holders (me: that's the high estimate) may eventually become naturalized citizens." The H-1B visa is not an immigrant visa, but you can convert to a green card. But I expect that to go past you because in your dreams there are 2 million.
Now please loudly support 2,000,000 a year of said visa type.
No need to. Is your conception that there weren't discussions on this board about H-1B visas? There were. I remember chuckling because Steve Jobs was upset with Obama for not increasing the H-1Bs. I actually don't mind if we bring in highly qualified people if we need them, but the discussion was Jobs and other CEOs wanted the high tech boys on the cheap side. Wage competition. Now, wages are supposed to be fairly even. I had an Indian friend in NY who rented apartments to H-1Bs from India.
"The H-1B visa program is hugely important and beneficial to the United States.
FWD.us estimates that there are as many as 730,000 H-1B holders within the US at any one time "
I'm sure they fall in love, marry, and have kids. Hope so.
