Trump administration to unveil major findings on alleged H-1B and J-1 visa abuse: What to know
The DOL investigates possible H-1B visa fraud, including fraudulent applications and labor broker schemes.
The Trump administration is set to unveil new findings on alleged abuse of US work-visa programs, specifically H-1B and J-1 visas, on Thursday. This briefing, expected to be conducted by the Vice President’s fraud task force, the Department of Labor (DOL), and the Department of Justice (DOJ), comes amid intensified scrutiny of employers, labor brokers, and other participants in foreign-worker programs.
H-1B visa fraud is likely to be a central focus of the meeting, with federal investigators potentially identifying broader patterns of fraud or abuse in programs that allow US employers to hire foreign workers. The DOL's Office of Inspector General has already launched a major investigation into H-1B and PERM systems, citing alleged fraudulent applications, wage-kickback arrangements, and schemes involving employers and labor brokers.
