Some U.S. recruiters are showing a discernible pattern of reluctance to employ applicants who require H1B sponsorship.
 
Recently, a recruiter stated that they deliberately avoid receiving applications from candidates who need sponsorship for their visa. They noted that a large number of H1B applicants frequently have patchy employment histories or struggle to articulate their positions in an interview.
 
The recruiter really stated that he would rather hire an American recent graduate with low-level experience than an H1B candidate who could have years of experience on their résumé. It is especially depressing for people who have worked hard to advance their jobs only to be ignored because of their immigration status.


An increasing mistrust about certain H1B petitions, particularly after years of inflated resumes and fraudulent promises, affects the recruiter's viewpoint. According to reports, some applicants—particularly those from overseas—have included false job experience, stating that they had over seven years of experience when they had none before earning their master's degree.
 
Regretfully, valid H1B candidates are now being impacted by this wide generalization. Due to this prejudice, a large number of competent individuals with legitimate job experience are being unfairly rejected. Although some recruiters may have previously had problems with false claims, the reality is that a small number of dishonest people have put many good applicants under more scrutiny.
 

These resumes may have been accepted at face value by recruiters in the past. However, many H1B applicants are now unjustly clubbed together and denied due to increased scrutiny and awareness of possible false experiences. For diligent professionals suddenly caught amid this shifting narrative, it's a difficult pill to swallow.
 
It's an emotional battle for many highly qualified individuals who, after years of dedication, continue to encounter barriers due to their immigration status. Real skill and expertise are being overlooked in this difficult scenario because of growing mistrust of the H1B application process.
