Acting on complaints of alleged "outrageous abuses" by Indian firms of the popular H-1B visa
programmes, the US has adopted "fraud prevention tactics" to prevent misuse of the scheme that mostly benefits highly-skilled professional from India.
The Department of Homeland Security have added fraud prevention tactics and begun looking at other more standard fraud investigatory techniques that weren't being use in H-1B that are now going to employ, include things like sites visits and worksites visits.
As well as top obligations are to American workers, making sure American workers have jobs. From an enforcement standpoint,the departments priority is to make sure that there's not fraud occurring within the H-1B programme at all.
The H-1B work visas for highly skilled professionals have most beneficial from IT
professionals from India. Its quite strange that Congress and the Government has recently taken several steps which restrict hiring of foreign workers under H-1B visa programme.
The Department has added some tools to rigorously enforce H-1B visa programme and prevent fraud.
