H1Bs are not hired for their knowledge of english, however you can define it. They are hired for specialized occupational skills

Skills which, with very few exceptions, are conducted in English.

>for example, universities require English proficiency for F1 visa using GRE exam

Why would the universities fail them on these exams, when it would mean losing out on that sweet, sweet tuition money?
