    From Elon Musk to Microsoft's Satya Nadella, these tech leaders were once H-1B visa holders 

    President Donald Trump is looking to restrict and overhaul the H-1 B visa program, which has allowed U.S. companies to hire foreign talent in occupations such as IT, healthcare and engineering for decades.

    The program has been a topic of debate among lawmakers in Washington for years, with many opponents arguing that it removes job opportunities for U.S. nationals and is rife with abuse.

    In response, Trump announced a plan to impose $100,000 fees on H-1B applications, which could severely impact American companies’ ability to support the visas.

    One thing that can’t be disputed, however, is that the program has been part of the journey of a considerable number of American technology and business leaders since its inception in 1990.

    Here is a list of some of the highest-profile ones.
