It's impossible to truthfully state on an H1-B form that the US labor market can't provide an experienced Java developer.



That is correct, but tangential to the original point of extraordinary abilities.

But it's also possible to say that one hasn't been able to find a skilled-enough Java developer.


The Java developers coming over on H-1Bs are often bottom of the barrel.


True, but at the same time immigrants have nothing to lose and everything to gain, thus in many cases they will work harder/longer and as result often be more skilled than an average developer.

And in general skilled immigration has many times over been proven to only benefit the country and that java developer you mention.
