Also, you can't really move jobs either. So a H1B friend of mine was in fact underpaid for the work he was doing because actually moving to the job title he was doing would've restarted the clock on his citizenship.
You can't apply for citizenship from a H1-B. You have to get permanent residency (green card) first, then be a permanent resident for 5 years.
It may have been his green card. I'll admit to not being intricately aware of the process. I just know he was taken advantage of due to his inability to change job titles without doing something to his efforts to eventually become a citizen.
