Labor Department Expands Probe Into H-1B Visa Abuse in Dallas

The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Inspector General has expanded its nationwide investigation into alleged H-1B visa fraud to Dallas, Texas.

Inspector General Anthony P. D'Esposito traveled to Dallas as part of the ongoing probe, conducting door-to-door inspections at a multi-story office building linked to more than 500 approved visa petitions.

Many of the offices investigators visited showed clear signs of inactivity, including locked doors, lights left off, and little to no evidence of active business operations at the addresses listed in their visa filings.

D'Esposito framed the investigation as part of a broader effort to protect the integrity of the country's foreign labor programs, stating that the department would not stand by while jobs are taken from Americans and H-1B fraud helps fuel criminal enterprises.
