H-1B Visa Abuse: 175 Investigations Launched in US

In an unprecedented move, the United States Department of Labor is investigating at least 175 companies for alleged misuse of the H-1B visa program. This initiative focuses on ensuring that highly skilled foreign workers are not displacing qualified American professionals in critical sectors such as tech and engineering. The DOL’s enhanced enforcement includes a new social media campaign highlighting concerns that some businesses may be hiring foreign talent at lower wages, effectively replacing younger American workers. This aggressive approach underscores a broader governmental effort to reform immigration policies and prioritize the hiring of U.S. citizens and residents.
