I want to know about the difference between students who have pursued their MS degree in US and have H1b visa and people coming on H1b visas given by the indian IT companys who have only BE degrees from india.There should be a difference otherwise what is the use of spending so much money on US education.

The BE graduate who has experience will bring in more to the company than those who have done Masters in some cheap schools here. These Masters guys are the biggest fakes with cooked resume.
