The United States of America is the world's largest economy and among the most popular nations in the world. It is home to one of the best education systems in the world and also has pioneering companies that lead - and in some cases have created - their own industries. Consequently, the U.S. is a dream for millions of students and workers.

In order to work in the U.S., one visa that a nonimmigrant has to obtain is an H1-B visa. This is a company-sponsored ticket stamped on the passport and is tightly controlled by Homeland Security and the State Department. The U.S. economy is fueled by these visas, as the H1-B workers often work in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) areas where U.S. citizen workers are often in a shortage. Data backs up this conclusion, as H-1B workers are 8.4% of the U.S. population. They are not classified US citizens, but the percentage figure is derived by dividing the 28 million foreign workers by the 334 million U.S. population.
