Famous/obvious bug in the H1B process, but not sure how this legislation would address it. If they're legally obligated to post the role, won't they just say "we'll fill this job <whenever the H1B process says we can take this down>"?

At my Uni I have been both the beneficiary and victim of this sort of thing.

I've been to interviews where I was there just to prove they did interviews and I also spent half a year working the politics to create a job for myself.

I have a friend who is loved by her coworkers (and myself) who we'd all like to see get a promotion but they may be obligated to do a national search. Stuff like that happens all the time.
