Since the dot.com boom of the 90\u2019s, the number of H-1B visa workers began to heighten in the U.S.. Particularly in the Information Technology field many skilled American workers have felt ignored and at a disadvantage finding employment. Some feel it is due to an excessive number of immigrant workers in the U.S. on a H-1B visa. The origin of the H-1B visa program was to help U.S. companies recruit highly-skilled foreign nationals only when there was a shortage of qualified workers in the country.<\/p>\n
