[quote=spdrun]Realistically, what % of San Diego residents are here on H1 visas?[/quote]
Interesting question. Seems there isn’t a whole lot of published data. I did find something from a couple years ago that indicated that the total number is about 650,000 across the country as of a few years ago. Because the annual number remains pretty stable, and the term remains stable, the guy who came up with that number seems to think the total also remains pretty stable.
ranks SD as the 10th most popular source of H1B visa applications. It wouldn’t surprise me if the really big population centers (NY,LA,CHI) have 50-100K each. Same for the bay area and Washington. Wouldn’t surprise me if half the national total were in those 5 places.
