Are you sure ? Increasing the masters quota for H1B will worsen things. Here is why. A majority of Masters degree holders in the US are those students who couldn't crack the basic campus recruitment in India for software companies during their Bachelors.

So they take a stab at it once more by investing in a masters degree in US which increases their H1B lottery chances. I am not generalizing all the masters degree holders but a major chunk of them.

The majority? How did you get that data? Sounds like proper BS to me. Campus recruitment in India is a joke. There's nothing to "crack" there. How do you explain the same majority completing their graduate studies in the US (much harder than in India) and getting jobs in the US (also much harder than in India)?

If there was no market for Master degree H1Bs who fake their experiences on their resume, how do you explain all those thriving body shops in the US ? Just how many of them are in New Jersey alone. See the LCA filings data from DOL.

I did not say that and this was not your original assertion.

This still does not explain your claims of:

1. Those people not being able to "crack" campus recruitment of Indian companies.

2. Those people actually being the majority who come to get a Master's degree. I saw your doc and filtered exactly like you said. I didn't see a "majority" number. Perhaps you are using that term very casually?

as an immigrant who got an MS degree in US and worked on H1b visa, what you say is quite a simplification of what it takes to move to a different country, get a master's degree and survive long enough to get a H1b visa.

A tiny chunk of them may do this, by going to so shady US universities. But that's a very small %age

Do you have any data to back this claim up?

If there was no market for Masters H1B with fake experiences on their resumes, these thriving bodyshops wont exist.
