What Employers Should Know and Expect From USCIS Fraud Unit
The USCIS Fraud unit has a lot employer should expect. These site visits are expected to become more and more frequent. For example, the USCIS Vermont Service Center has indicated it has transferred approximately 20,000 cases to the FDNS as part of the H-1B assessment program. It is assumed that the USCIS California Service Center has also forwarded a comparable number of cases for review. This is an addition to the cases that are referred to the FDNS based on a standard profile worksheet, which is completed by the USCIS adjudicators as part of the regular H-1B adjudication process. Therefore, it appears that FDNS officers will be appearing at the offices of numerous H-1B employers (and their clients if the beneficiary is assigned to one of the employer’s clients) within the next few months to gather information about their compliance with the H-1B program.
