US Labor Department Intensifies Investigation into H-1B Visa Fraud Using Whistleblower Tips
The US Department of Labor's Office of Inspector General (DOL OIG) has intensified its crackdown on H-1B visa fraud, urging suspected fraudsters to 'count your days.' The agency is leveraging whistleblower tips, public information, and investigations alongside the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud. The probe targets fraudulent activities across various sectors, including technology and healthcare, focusing on employers, recruiters, and labor brokers involved in visa abuses rather than the visa holders themselves.
