One of the visa programs used to bring foreign workers into the United States recently became smaller, and some members of Congress are proposing that another be reduced.

H-1B visas allow special professional workers, usually those with college degrees, to work in the United States for up to six years. While mostly used for computer programmers, engineers and the like, recently they have gone to teachers and healthcare workers.

On Oct. 1, the annual cap for H-1B visas reverted to 65,000, down from a yearly limit of 195,000 in effect since 2000.
