That's all employees, not just engineers.

Do you think twitter has a lot of marketers, PR, product managers under H1B? I don't have data, but in the tech companies I have worked at it engineers were the H1B visa holders, almost exclusively.

They absolutely have a number of PMs on work visas. I'm friends with a lot of them.

I would imagine the vast majority of those are engineers. It’s pretty hard to get an H1B in a non technical field and I’m not sure Twitter would even have many of those types of jobs.

H1-B is for "highly skilled" workers, what skilled workers would Twitter have other than developers?

Is the assertion here that Twitter is employing H1-B fashion models?

You can look at the NAICS codes, the overwhelming majority are 54.
