These documents were allegedly used for jobs and visa applications abroad, including in the U.S. While direct links to specific approved H-1B visas would require further investigation by U.S. authorities, the scale raises serious questions about credential verification in the immigration process.

Broader Allegations of Fraud in Indian H-1B Applications

A former U.S. consular officer, Mahvash Siddiqui, who adjudicated thousands of visas (including many H-1Bs) at the U.S. consulate in Chennai, India, alleged in 2025 that 80–90% of H-1B applications from the region involved fraudulent documentation or unqualified applicants. She described forged degrees, transcripts, employment letters, and other supporting materials, often facilitated by visa consultancies.

India dominates H-1B approvals (often around 70% in recent years), making these claims particularly relevant to program integrity.

U.S. agencies like USCIS and the Department of Labor have long acknowledged fraud risks in the H-1B program, including indicators such as wage violations, benching (non-payment while awaiting projects), and misrepresentation of job duties or worksites. Audits have previously found notable fraud rates. uscis.gov

Wage Levels and “High-Skilled” Claims

Critics, including in the video referenced, note that a high percentage of H-1B workers—especially those sponsored by outsourcing firms—receive Level 1 (entry-level) or Level 2 (qualified/junior) wage classifications. Data from the Department of Labor and analyses by groups like the Economic Policy Institute have shown that outsourcing companies received a substantial share of visas, with many petitions at lower wage levels.

During the Biden administration, rules and enforcement varied, but reports indicated heavy use at junior levels by certain employers. Reforms under subsequent administrations have attempted to prioritize higher wage/skill tiers via lottery weighting and prevailing wage adjustments.

This does not mean all Indian H-1B recipients are fraudulent—many hold legitimate degrees from reputable institutions and contribute in tech and other fields—but the existence of diploma mills undermines trust and creates unfair competition.
