Vrst1013 writes "H-1B visa holders and the companies that use them will get more scrutiny after a report examining fraud in the program. USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) just released a report to members of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee examining issues with fraud and technical violations within the H-1B visa program. Based on a sample size of 246 H-1B petitions: -13.4 percent fraud (33 cases) -7.3 percent technical violations (18 cases) -20.7 percent overall rate of violation Also evidence of payment below the prevailing wage, offers of non-existent jobs, and fraudulent documentation."
