Worker who has a visa that is actually dependent on their employment to a
specific company.  In other words, a worker gets hired on a contract by GE
Capital Rail Services.  Said worker gets fired by said company.  They must
leave the country at that point or be in violation of their visa and be
deported.  This involves a heavy incentive to 'behave' and submit to really
decrepit working conditions.  Though it is not always perfect, since some of
the Indian folks I worked with were expert slackers, while others worked
10-14 hours a day and were the absolute most demanding of support to always
be working.  Mixed bag.  But that is what H1-B does.  H1-A works similarly,
but with some differences.  I am not up on the complete legal
technicalities.

Thanks for reminding me that not everyone knows US immigration law :)
