Noncompete contracts are presumably invalid unless there's a short time limit. The time limits vary from region to region. Since immigration visas have short time spans, by tying the time limit of the noncompete to a visa holder, you effectively HOLD him (he can't get another job and if he breaks the contract with you, he's out of his visa).
Actually, this is the only scenario where professional noncompetes actually work.
Do I agree with this? NO. People are better off with outsourcing--either per project or leased staff. You have to factor in benefits, legal costs, etc.
