As a current H1B holder, I agree. I always say that visa workers may not realize it at first but the day they stand outside the consulate for their visa interview, they indirectly agree to whatever headaches come with being on an H1B (or any sort of work visa for that matter).

It seems like the only people who do understand the program are the people who are directly participating in it.

I agree with the parent and grandparent comments.

That said, when I was sponsored for an E-3 visa by a US company the recruiters made it clear that my position was permanent (subject to performance) and that the company would sponsor me for a Green Card.

These representations were contradicted by the legal documents I presented in my interview at the US consulate.

Nonetheless, I can imagine some employees on these sorts of visas might take their employer at their word and plan their lives accordingly.
