Signed up just to say this. I don't see the controversy in not counting QA analyst as a specialty position. Just look up what countries like Canada, UK, France consider specialty positions and understand that this isn't a controversy.

In fact, I was shocked that QA has been an H1B position in the United States. This is also why there are such massive backlogs for EB-3 for India, despite them getting circa 18% of the cap (7% + unused quota from ROW).

The truth might be worse than you think. Not only has QA been a popular H1B approved requisition, but so are positions that are simply listed as “Analyst” and “Business Analyst” and so on, as well as the many many variations on “Analyst” (QA or other). It might compete with “Developer” as the most common H1B position.
