H-1B visa Fraud

By Annie Banerjee

On Wednesday, February 11, Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 11 H-1B employers in 7 states on H-1B visa fraud. These employers had produced false documents to the CIS, and violated LCA rules of filing new LCA for different locations.

The arrested individuals were primarily Indians. I hope that the Obama Government officials, in the CIS and DOS will not automatically stereotype all Indian Employers as fraud and deny legitimate visas. Lets not forget that Indians primarily come into this country to work in the software industry and has so far done a remarkable job. As Thomas Friedman pointed out in a recent New York Times Op Ed piece, restrictionist policies served only to make the Great Depression, Great. Restricting the bright brains from coming in from India will only enrich India,and make the US poor.
