> The H1B is now primarily used by outsourcing companies to move jobs overseas.

How do they do that?



Ok, maybe this is the mechanics:

"some of the most active users of visas for visiting workers are Indian outsourcing firms, which appear to be training workers in the U.S. and then sending them home"

Correct. Outsourcing company sends workers to the job site to document the job responsibilities so that the position can be transferred overseas. Usually it takes about six months to a year.
