>Amazon, for example, saw a denial rate of 17% on 228 H-1B applications for continuing employment decided during the first quarter of FY 2019, noted the NFAP analysis.

I thought USCIS was only after Indian companies.

I believe the current administration is trying to make h1b life as hard as possible. I remember the president saying something to the effect of 'he will make the people voluntarily deport'. I was working for an Indian company and got RFE for my extension. The RFE looked like a copy paste, didn't even have my employer name correct. May be the USCIS employees were overloaded. Because of the RFE, I couldn't renew my licence. I went to the DMV and asked if I can get a temporary licence. They told me that DMV used to give 2 months temporary, but they recently stopped it. It was no fun living without licence for 3 months, especially after bad experiences with Uber a few times. I used to stock my refrigerator with as much food as possible whenever I could get a lift from my colleague and was rationing everything so that I can limit the number of grocery store visits (I didn't want to use Uber after my first Uber grocery run ended up with a drop in my Uber rating and after learning from /r/uber that drivers don't like grocery runs)
