Employment-based immigration fraud

Employment-based immigration fraud occurs when individuals or employers manipulate or falsify information to gain immigration benefits. This can include offering fake job offers, misrepresenting salary or job duties, and using forged documents to deceive immigration authorities. Such fraud undermines the integrity of the immigration system, allowing ineligible individuals to obtain work visas or residency. It can also hurt legitimate workers by creating unfair competition and can lead to legal consequences for both employers and employees involved in the fraud. Authorities actively investigate and prosecute these cases to maintain fair immigration practices.
