Computerworld reported this week that 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. Also, this 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.
We all know that USCIS hired contractors and started this enforcement verification, but now many clients receive site visits. They appear to be random, even public schools and such organizations are receiving these site visits. This 25,000 inspection benchmark means that approximately 1 in every 3 H-1B petitions will receive a site visit, a significant number. How many violations have been or will be discovered by this remains to be seen.
