One more small item. If someone gets issued an H1B Visa, they
should spend their money in the country offering employment.
I have heard more than once that Visa holders ship all their
money back to their home country. If you want to spend money
in your home country, you should work there also. I am all
about all about the land of the free, but folks that work on
American soil should utilize American goods!
