The $100,000 H-1B visa fee is impacting the U.S.'s ability to attract global talent [View all]

Hyderabad, India — The city of Hyderabad has been called the Silicon Valley of India.

"Google, Facebook, and all the other bigger companies are here," Rajesh Jaknalli, who has worked for a U.S. tech company in Hyderabad for about 10 years, told CBS News.

"This place is actually called High Tech City, but because of the many companies that we have, the term 'Cyberabad' has come," Jaknalli explained.

Jaknalli says he has worked here with one goal, to get an opportunity to one day move to the U.S.
