The H-1B visa is specifically for hiring "highly specialized" workers. Lack of the supposed skills that let them across the border is in fact a legal issue.

H1Bs are not hired for their knowledge of english, however you can define it. They are hired for specialized occupational skills

  • Skills which, with very few exceptions, are conducted in English.

    • You don’t need to be Shakespeare to do specialized job that’s first

      Second most visa applicants already get tested on their English skill when they apply for Visa, for example, universities require English proficiency for F1 visa using GRE exam

      And why do you think you are better than an employer in assessing required English proficiency of an employee
