Government wants $5 million in H-1B Fraud case
Remember folks, most of the labor arbitrage methods with guest worker Visas is perfectly legal. Yet this is a bit of good news:
The U.S. government filed a new, expanded indictment last week against a New Jersey IT services firm it alleges fraudulently used H-1B visas through a scheme that delivered it millions of dollars in gains.
If federal prosecutors win their case against Visions System Group Inc., in South Plainfield, NJ -- part of apparent government H-1B enforcement push -- they will ask the court to approve $4.9 million in forfeited assets, an amount "representing the total amount of gross proceeds obtained as a result of offenses," the government said.
But that amount is also a reduction from the $7.4 million the U.S. sought from Visions Systems in its initial indictment, filed earlier this year. The reduction was not explained in court documents.
Although why they wouldn't go after the $7.4 million is curious.
