Outsourcing Firm Boss Convicted of H-1B Visa Fraud – By John Binder / Aug 11 2017
The head of an outsourcing firm that brings in foreign guest workers on the H-1B was convicted of visa fraud.
Rohit Saksena, 42, was convicted and sentenced to a $40,000 fine after fraudulently bringing in foreign workers on the H-1B visa to the U.S. by claiming they had secured jobs at a California company.
Saksena, according to New Hampshire Public Radio, is the head of an outsourcing firm, Saks IT Group, that is contracted by big businesses to import H-1B workers. These firms are often referred to as “body shops,” as they turn a profit from importing often cheaper, workers to replace Americans.
In 2014 and 2015, Saksena requested 45 foreign workers through the H-1B visa, claiming that they were going to be taking jobs with a company out of Cupertino, California. But, the California company said they were unaware of the requests and the foreign workers imported by Saksena ended up taking jobs with other companies, a violation of visa law
