H-1B Redditor says no response even after applying for 1500+ jobs.

A Reddit post by a man claiming to be an H-1B visa holder went viral as he said he applied for over 1,500 roles across the US in the past few months and did not receive a single call from any recruiter. The Redditor revealed his background that he is not new and has an H-1B visa and has been working as a data engineer in Ohio for more than three years. But his current company has decided not to renew his H-1B application and that is why he is looking for a job.“I have practical industry experience building pipelines, working with cloud technologies, ETL workflows, and production systems. Unfortunately, my current company has decided not to renew H1B applications, which has forced me to actively seek new opportunities,” the Redditor wrote.“What’s mentally exhausting is the complete silence despite applying everywhere across the country. At this point, I really don’t know if it’s the market, my location, visa sponsorship concerns, or something else entirely,” the Redditor wrote, asking for help from the community.This post went viral for several reasons at a time when the Donald Trump administration is taking steps to stop H-1B fraud and OPT fraud. But most of the reactions were angry, asking them to go back home. The overall perception was that three years of experience is not a good field nor is data engineering a good field. Many people commented that the situation is very clear: a temporary worker on a temporary visa is no longer needed in the US and should go home.A section of commentators expressed surprise that H-1B visa holders, considered highly skilled, are not finding jobs in the country. One wrote, “Not a single call – it means your skills are useless and no one is interested in your experience. You want a job in data engineering, good luck with that as there are thousands of candidates unemployed in the market. Better pack your stuff and go back home before your savings run out.”
