Tesla boss Elon Musk has said H-1B visas were being "gamed" by "some outsourcing companies", but the solution was stopping the abuse and not dismantling the system.
Roughly 70% of these visas - that allow US companies to hire skilled foreign workers - are used by Indian citizens working in sectors like technology and medicine.
In September, US President Donald Trump added a $100,000 (£74,000) for applicants to the H-1B visa programme, sparking anxiety among Indian workers and employers.fee
Musk was speaking to Indian entrepreneur Nikhil Kamath on his podcast, released on Sunday evening, and also touched on a range of other issues from tariffs to immigration.
