Hiring H-1B for cost reasons is not possible.
Then explain why, in 2001 while working for Lucent, a more qualified for the job H-1B engineer was paid 45K to my 80K?
While I hear from people like you and other sources that there are H-1Bs being paid what they're worth, all the cases I actually know something about are paid significantly less than market or the like (e.g. too many cases of more expensive, experienced US citizens and permanent residents being replaced by cheaper H-1Bs; we've been reading in the general news about some particularly notorious cases of this happening en masse lately at that California utility and Disney).
