Outsourcers and IT staffing companies both foreign and domestic are getting hammered with denials of the H-1B visa, according to a new analysis of federal government data.

Bay Area tech giants including Apple, Google and Facebook rely heavily on H-1B workers, but Big Tech saw little to no increase in denial rates when applying to hire new H-1B workers from fiscal years 2015 to 2019, according to analysis in a report by the National Foundation for American Policy, which supports expanding the H-1B program beyond the current 85,000 cap on new visas.
