Do you understand “dual intent?”
Very much so. I am on a dual intent visa right now (H1B). It means you can work on a temporary basis (intent 1) while also having intent to immigrate permanently by getting a green card (intent 2).
Before this I was on a student visa (F1) which did not have dual intent.
The dual intent part of my current visa allowed my employer to apply for my green card.

Do you intend to both remain in the US and go back to your country?
No I just want to give up my Indian citizenship, get an American citizenship, and stay here permanently.

Did your employer have to certify that no US worker would take your job in order to apply to get your green card approved?
Yes, that is labor certification. That was completed back in late 2009 and early 2010 and that is when my wait for green card began.

Did your employer lie?

Welcome to the ugly truth of the American Republican Party. It’s on display here every day.
I think most of the posters here would identify as southern Democrats.

Nope. They don't have to. There is a REAL shortage of CS faculty.
If you are really interested, here are some references for you to look in to: LINK1
Roughly 2/3rd of doctoral graduates are foreign students ( page 34). Which means there are very few qualified Americans who are interested to teach, and they are being hired away even before they graduate.
Only about 15% of CS doctoral graduates go on to academic jobs ( page 46)
In 2016, there were >= 540 CS faculty jobs in USA. There were roughly 340 that were filled. The situation worsened since then. Now search firms are being hired to look for CS faculty. Tennessee Tech last year offered to pay candidates to come to pre-interview visits to check out the campus and city even before the candidate interviewed.

This is mainly for STEM, which has a mega shortage of people, especially Americans to fill the increased demands
This is as much a fiction as "doing the jobs Americans won't do."
Read Michelle Malkin's book "Sold Out" to learn the truth.

It's a myth when White people care about being replaced, but it's good policy when non Whites advocate for diversity and multiculturalism.
The biggest issue with seeing our present troubles through any sort of a racial lens is that the overwhelming majority of the people who have pushed this nation to the brink have been...white democrats.

Perhaps you see an angle here that I don't, but on the surface this just seems completely absurd.

The majority of Neurologists/Neuroscientists in this country are Indian/Asian. I thank them everyday. They seem to have a knack for the brain and a strong passion to understand it. For this I applaud them. It is one of the longest and strenuous residencies out there.

So there were no qualified native applicants for your position?

I do not know what the applicant pool looked like when I was hired.
But if current trends are indicative, then probably there weren't. For example, this year we hired a new faculty. There was one American candidate who was already hired by the time we wanted to interview that person.
I have seen similar trends in the last few hiring cycles as well. We actually have had failed searches where we did not hire anyone at all as we could not find anyone competent (neither native nor foreign born).
