This is why bay area tech companies have to start accepting remote work more. It's easier to work with remote workers than to deal with the H-1B cap and waiting until next October. If you must restrict, just keep them within North & South America so you avoid major time zone issues.
Lots of companies accept remote workers, but not foreign remote workers.
One of my particular pet peeves with StackOverflow's jobs board is the endless parade of remote work with "NO NON-US CITIZENS" at the bottom of the job description.
