Allegations of fraud
But now there have been cries of foul play.
Two American senators, Charles Grassley and Richard Durbin, have alleged that Indian outsourcing firms are using the visas to avoid hiring American staff.
They have issued a letter of enquiry to nine Indian technology firms - amongst them Infosys, Wipro and L&T Infotech - asking them to provide details of how many H1-B or temporary working visa holders they are currently employing, and what percentage of their total workforce are H1-B holders.
In the letter, which is also on the senators' respective websites, they say they are "concerned about the impact on American workers."
The letter goes on: "Some groups have analysed the wages paid to H1-B visa holders. They have found that the average annual salary of foreign workers is significantly lower than that of new US graduates."
