Sounds like an H-1 temporary worker visa, very common in the tech sector. Since it would be easy for fraudsters to set up fake companies then claim they needed someone from overseas, the whole process is vetted very carefully on both ends. (My wife did a consular tour in Amsterdam so I heard all about this stuff in detail.)

The major corporations play the immigration game by the rules. My company group is North America - and with proper paper work - we can share employees. Currently there is a huge shortage of engineering talent. NOT allowing more technical skills into the country will simply drive work off shore. It is an entirely different situation from the other end of the economic ladder. Politically we say we want green technologies to create jobs - we need engineering talent to make it happen here - or it will happen - to the extent it does - somewhere else.
