H-1B visas revoked at major IT firm: US finds skilled tech jobs placed at lower wage levels, intensifies visa scrutiny
US flags skilled tech jobs at an IT consulting firm for low wage classifications, denying and revoking multiple H-1B petitions.
The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has denied and revoked multiple H-1B petitions after identifying cases in which a major IT consulting company classified skilled technology positions at wage levels below what the jobs' duties and requirements supported. USCIS disclosed the enforcement action in a post on X on September 5, stating that the practice "undercuts required wages" and creates unfair competition for US workers.
The latest action focuses on how employers classify H-1B jobs for prevailing-wage purposes, with H-1B employers required to pay workers according to applicable wage requirements that reflect factors such as occupation, experience, and requirements associated with a position.
