Market downturn => product/service demand decreased => company profit decreased => cost cut => no opening/no unnecessary expense => do not forget, before you apply for H1B, you need to get an offer. Without job opening and offer, no need to talk about H1B. Even with job opening, most of companies does not want to pay additional expense to hire a person. Unfortunately, H1B application will cost a company about 4K. Maybe you will think 4K is not a big deal for a company. But at this market, most of company cares about pennies. |
