I think there should be two different visa categories.
1. Those who are employed in their respective country for an outsourcing company and are applying for H1B.
2. Separate category for US based companies hiring global talent.
3. Separate caps for small companies.
What is wrong with lottery system.
My wife worked with an Indian outsourcing giant. She worked on a project by an American client. When they wanted to send someone to US on B1 visa they put 10 of their employees in the pipeline. Idea was if anyone's visa gets rejected the next person will try for it. They also divided these 10 people in 4 buckets and each bucket applied with a separate embassy in India.
I suspect with H1B lottery such large companies will also try to make more applications. Bad for everyone.
