Dang, the US doesn't even require you speak English.

Isn't this probably caused by US actually not having an official language?

It is a requirement for naturalization tho (N400 form) but the "test" is laughable.

In practice it seems unlikely that someone could get an H1B-eligible job without speaking English, except in some unusual situations.

My recollection is UK immigration required you to pass some sort of UK version of TOEFL. US only has an official "language test" during naturalization and it's basically just one question that immigration officer asks you. Quite a difference in effort.
