H1B fraudulent use

by Silverdragon102 Staff

This just proves that H1b hasn't been used appropriately and considering some nurses are attempting to use it thought this would e an interesting read

A report released Oct. 8 by the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) reveals that 13% of petitions filed for H-1B visas on behalf of employers are fraudulent. Another 8% contain some sort of technical violations.

Program Abuses Alleged

A USCIS spokesperson was not immediately available for comment. The report's conclusion states: "Given the significant vulnerability, USCIS is making procedural changes, which will be described in a forthcoming document." A spokeswoman, Beth Pellett Levine, says Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), a longtime critic of the H-1B program, is drafting a letter to USCIS in response to the study.

Default Re: H1B fraudulent use
I bet that some of the people who are using it probably don't know they don't qualify for that visa. But of course there are those out there who know they don't qualilfy for it, but use it anyway. It's those folks who ruin it for everyone else who are waiting patiently.
