There is nothing amusing about families being ejected. That's the nuance.

“ Because those required wage increases take effect this week, existing H-1B holders looking to renew their visas might not qualify unless their employers raise their salaries accordingly.”

This is really bad. Families are going to get told to leave. I’m surprised that there is no discussion on this thread about the impact to people who haven’t done anything wrong.

Any data to backup that claim?

What you are saying maybe true for very high profile breaches - but for most firms, the "has a high degree of debt to income ratio" is a decent signal to decide if that person may have reasons to be vulnerable to bribery.

I am not new here. And the tech-migration is a relatively new thing in the Western world. I would wait a generation for that thinking to evolve.

Get back to me once you have cross checked with everyone you painted with the same broad brush.

On the other hand, Your ill-informed view paints a poor picture of you. As I said before - stop thinking you are better. Instead, you came across as a massive douche.

"I've said this before, Most Indians coming from TCS,Infy,CTS are not _highly_ skilled people. 80 to 90% of them are don't have expert skills. These people are close to management and play politics well, thats how they reach USA."

You haven't met everyone of them to apply such a broad characterization. You have a point to make - that these three businesses abuse the Visa - but that gets lost in your attempt to pass judgment on a group of people you haven't met, and yet feel at home grouping them together as "shoe-lickers". Get off your high horse.

There isn't a service offered by a credit bureau that I know, which allows an employer or a lender to find out about a prospect's salary. Salary info is used for credit risk strategies, and only where applicable or allowed.

Continuity is really a crutch for identity, and to reduce risk. My bet is once - Apple Pay on Safari on macOS & iOS via iPhone/watch - qualifies for a lower rate, Apple could open up Apple Pay to other browsers, cross platform - on both desktop and mobile.

Would be interesting to know how and who shoulders the liability here?

I am an Indian. I don't care about the portrayal of India in a story such as this - I care that these things still happen.

I am also tremendously proud that I am born in the same country as these badass women.

What you are talking about is essentially the tokenization concept which should become real in 2014. All retailers such as Amazon would become Token requestors in this concept. Advantages would be to essentially make these breaches irrelevant as tokens could be invalidated quickly by the card issuers easily. Further, for merchants - the advantage would be reduced fraud and hopefully better interchange economics.
