The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has denied and revoked multiple H-1B visa petitions submitted by a major IT consulting firm. The agency identified that the company had classified skilled technology roles at wage levels lower than those supported by the actual duties and requirements of the positions.
According to USCIS, this practice undermines mandatory wage standards and creates unfair competition for American workers. The agency's Vermont office discovered the discrepancies during a review of employment-based immigration filings, though the specific name of the consulting firm was not disclosed.
USCIS stated that these enforcement actions are intended to maintain the integrity of the H-1B program. While the agency confirmed the denial and revocation of multiple petitions, it did not provide specific details regarding the number of affected workers or the job titles involved.
