For an IT worker it's not that hard. The main conditions are being paid a minimum amount (it's about 15 lac/year, last I heard), registering with the police every 180 days, and other details like that.

The 15 lac/year requirement doesn't even apply to ethnic chefs and language teachers.

Ah, the thing I'm remembering is the Economist noting that there's no path to citizenship. Every H1B my companies have ever employed became a citizen of the US.

("15 lac" is 15 lakh is 1.5 million rupees, which is around $22,500 at the moment.)
