Temporary Work Visa (H-1B fraud)

An H-1B visa allows U.S. companies to hire foreign workers in specialized fields. However, H-1B fraud occurs when employers misuse this process, such as submitting false information or not genuinely intending to employ the worker, to gain an unfair advantage or bypass regulations. This can lead to misuse of visa quotas, undercutting honest employers, and undermining the integrity of the immigration system. Authorities investigate such fraud to ensure compliance, protect workers, and maintain fairness in the visa process.
