US Bars Four Companies from H-1B Visa Program for Regulatory Violations
The US Department of Labor has designated four companies—GowraTech, Renotek Group, Seeloz, and Sherwood Academy—as 'willful violators' of H-1B visa regulations, barring them from filing new H-1B petitions during specified debarment periods between 2025 and 2028. This action follows findings that these employers knowingly violated labor rules, such as failing to pay prevailing wages or misrepresenting information. The ban affects their ability to sponsor foreign workers but does not directly impact current employees.
