US Labor Department Investigates Potential H-1B Visa Fraud in DallasPreviousNext

The US Department of Labor's Office of Inspector General, led by Anthony P. D'Esposito, is investigating potential fraud in the H-1B visa program in Dallas, Texas. Investigators conducted door-to-door checks at a building linked to over 500 approved H-1B petitions, finding several offices inactive or locked. While these observations do not confirm fraud, the inquiry aims to ensure compliance with program requirements and protect the integrity of the foreign labor system. The investigation responds to complaints and is part of a nationwide effort.
