【H1B快訊】兩印度人因H1B申請造假被抓！
昨天，兩位SCM Data Inc和MMC Systems Inc的印度員工因給其他印度外籍員工製造虛假入職證明，並申請辦理H1B，遭到逮捕。標題為”Two People Arrested In H-1B Visa Fraud“的文章在5月13日，發表於H1B WiKi網站。（本文最後會附上原文）。
是的！其實這種手段在印度IT外包公司中非常常見。他們向印度本土未受過高等教育或專業技能培訓，卻一心向往去美國工作的勞工收取高昂的手續費用。然後向美國HDS出示虛假的入職證明（注：H1B的申請者不一定是留學生，隻要有美國本土Offer，誰都可以申請。這也是為什麽每年印度申請者是其他國家數倍的原因），以申請今年的H1B。當申請到H1B，成功來到美國後，這些人員便成為半待業狀態接受外包公司的簡單培訓，等待第三方公司的真正入職合同。
如果說一人申請多份H1B是鑽了法律的空子，那麽這樣的造假就是完完全全違反法律！這次兩位印度員工被逮捕也是給這些所謂的印度外包當頭一棒，說明監管部門有了相應的措施。美國政府對H1B申請的監管近年逐漸增強，這是我們這些遵守規則的中國人希望看到的。對於逐年H1B大戰的越演愈烈，我們應當期待的是美國政府對工作簽證的名額放寬，對申請者的背景監管更加嚴格，萬萬不可鋌而走險！
最近EB2的綠卡排期大為縮短（縮短了一年），甚至有EB2/3的綠卡排期將要取消的傳聞，說明美國對技術型人才的渴望有增無減。希望在不遠的將來，H1B政策也能逐步放寬。

Two People Arrested In H-1B Visa Fraud
H1B Wiki has published many articles on different scams/frauds where fraudsters targeted H-1B employees. Here, we are bringing up one more H-1B Visa Fraud to notify our viewers and to create awareness about different scams/frauds that are happening around us.
Two Indian- Americans, residents of Jersey City, were arrested today in New Jersey on charges of H-1B Visa fraud.
Hiral Patel, 32 and Shikha Mohta, 31, employees of SCM Data Inc and MMC Systems Inc have been charged for bringing in foreign workers with false IT Experience and to obstruct justice.
According to Federal department Hiral Patel, Shikha Mohta and other people who are involved with this fraud hired foreign workers that too mainly from India with false IT expertise, then sponsored them H-1B visas by showing that they had a job opportunity with SCM Data Inc and MMC Systems Inc clients in US. They falsely represented that the foreign workers had full-time positions and were paid an annual salary while submitting the paperwork to the Department of Homeland Security(DHS).
Apart from these H-1B visa violations, these conspirators paid the foreign workers only when they get a job with a third-party client who are in contract with SCM Data Inc or MMC Systems Inc. They generated false payroll records to create an impression that foreign workers were paid full-time wages.
Conspirators allowed foreign workers to submit bogus payroll checks to the Department of Homeland Security(DHS) as a proof that they were doing a full-time work even though they haven’t had any job with SCM Data Inc or MMC Systems Inc or with its clients.
