A former Meta employee reignited the debate on H-1B visas, revealing that in 2017, his data engineering team consisted of 15 H-1B visa holders out of 17 members, with only two Americans, including himself. Zach Wilson, now the founder of a San Francisco-based data analytics company, highlighted the impact of new visa fee rules, estimating $1.5 million in fees for his former team. He noted that the changing landscape could benefit American job seekers, as a significant portion of their competition may be affected. Notably, he worked as a data engineer at Meta for nearly two years.
