Report Finds Significant Fraud, Rule Violations Under H-1B Program
A U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) report made public last week by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) discovered significant evidence of fraud in the H-1B program. USCIS found outright fraud or technical violations in 21% of 246 H-1B applications reviewed. However, as Professor Norm Matloff notes in a corresponding blog, while the fraud discovered in this study is significant, the loopholes in the H-1B program push its “abuse” rate to nearly 100%.
