The lottery was a scam and could be easily gamed, especially by the Indian WITCH companies (Wipro, Infosys, Tata, Cognizant, and I forgot the one with H).

I understand the need for these types of visas in specific cases (especially at a high level senior R&D position with outstanding qualification requirements like a PhD in certain STEM fields), but when unemployment is rising in tech due to massive disruptions like AI, there’s no justification in extending the program, especially at entry level/junior levels.
