New Plan for 25,000 H-1B On-site Inspections

Well, it's not reform but at least it is some good news. Immigration officials are planning 25,000 onsite inspections.

Hopefully they will not announce they are coming, for lord knows, one would have a heads up to hide the fraud.

U.S. immigration officials are taking H-1B enforcement from the desk to the field with a plan to conduct 25,000 on-site inspections of companies hiring foreign workers over this fiscal year.

The move marks a nearly five-fold increase in inspections over last fiscal year, when the agency conducted 5,191 site visits under a new site inspection program. The new federal fiscal year began Oct. 1.

Tougher enforcement from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services comes in response to a study conducted by the agency last year that found fraud and other violations in one-in-five H-1B applications.

The thing is they could easily enforce all of those phony job ads before claiming the H-1B is not displacing a U.S. worker. Very easily, those ads are everywhere.
