US Labor Department Warns of More PERM and H-1B Suspensions Amid Fraud Investigations
The US Department of Labor's Office of Inspector General (DOL OIG) has warned that more universities and companies may face suspensions from the PERM labor certification and H-1B visa programs amid investigations into alleged immigration fraud. The DOL OIG, working with the White House Fraud Task Force, has already suspended major firms including Microsoft, Adobe, and several IT outsourcing companies. Separately, the administration criticized Microsoft’s H-1B visa use following a global outage of its services, though the outage was unrelated to visa issues.
