US Department of Labor Expands Investigation into Alleged H-1B Visa Fraud in TexasPreviousNext

The US Department of Labor's Office of Inspector General has intensified investigations into alleged H-1B visa fraud in Texas, particularly in Dallas. Collaborating with commentator Sara Gonzales and BlazeTV, the agency has highlighted cases where businesses linked to over 500 approved H-1B petitions showed signs of inactivity. A video circulated by Gonzales features her confronting an individual she identifies as involved in visa fraud, with the federal watchdog endorsing the exposure. This effort is part of a broader nationwide crackdown on visa fraud.
