I'm quite aware of the situation in the US as well. Don't forget I'm also a migrant. Who said I agree with the US rules?

However, I can compete with the US outsourcing and have done so for many years. I can't with the Indian one. You know why? Because I am not allowed to do it. And it's got nothing to do with the Indian government. But that is an entirely different story.

That doesn't make the whole darn thing right.

Proof of fact. I can't find any.
They are the vast minority. Simple.

Ever tried obtaining the "proof that the organization is registered in India"? Unless you are a multi-national large company who also engages in selling outsourcing with Indian workforce? You may have a slight problem...

Actually, I know quite a little bit about most of those countries. With the exception of Outer Mongolia. Which is not a country. But that was not why they were mentioned.

Not at all. What I am surprised is that you used "blatant". What is the difference?

That is one problem. Of many. I don't believe it is the most important at this stage, though. Was a few years ago. Geomancer touched on why.
