Tech Execs indicted for H1B fraud"},"content":{"rendered":"

Good day all. I saw this story last week, but didn\u2019t see a lot of play on other news sites. It looks like that the Justice Department is finally starting to crack down on H1B visa fraud.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never been one to shy away from demanding that the H1B visa program be abolished and the current visa holders sent back home. I\u2019ve also said that since they obeyed the law in the first place, the former H1B visa holders should be allowed back in under a standard Green Card. The abuse of the H1B visa program is well known and there have been some lawsuits over it. Now they\u2019ve finally indicted some of these \u201cEmployment\u201d agencies for committing visa fraud. Here are the details from The Mercury News<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Two Bay Area tech executives are accused of filing false visa documents through a staffing agency in a scheme to illegally bring a pool of foreign tech workers into the United States. An indictment from a federal grand jury unsealed on Friday accuses Jayavel Murugan, Dynasoft Synergy\u2019s chief executive officer, and a 40-year-old Santa Clara man, Syed Nawaz, of fraudulently submitting H-1B applications in an effort to illegally obtain visas, according to Brian Stretch, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of California. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The men are charged with 26 counts of visa fraud, conspiracy to commit visa fraud, use of false documents, mail fraud and aggravated identity theft, according to prosecutors. Each charge can carry penalties of between two and 20 years in prison. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Prosecutors say the men used fraudulent documents to bring workers into the U.S. and create a pool of H-1B workers to hire out to tech companies. The indictment charges that from 2010 to 2016, Dynasoft petitioned to place workers at Stanford University, Cisco and Brocade, but the employers had no intention of receiving the foreign workers named on the applications. <\/b><\/p>\n

I find that interesting. Cisco wasn\u2019t looking for more cheap labor. I\u2019m also surprised that these alleged criminals, (They haven\u2019t been convicted…yet), actually had to falsify documentation to get the Visa\u2019s. Every day we see stories on companies firing American workers, then forcing them to train their H1B visa replacements or not get a severance package.<\/p>\n

Oh well, we have to start somewhere. Now the next series of investigations and indictments should be against all these companies that fired Americans and replaced them with cheap foreign serfs. I suspect that might be the next major tech headline. Putting a few CEO\u2019s and Human Resources directors in jail would put a big damper on others trying to shaft American tech workers.<\/p>\n

Thatisall<\/p>\n
