Why 50 Americans didn't get a job. Sillycon valley uses crooks and are criminals. Ever notice it seems that Indians and/or Pakis are involved in these schemes? HOW MANY ILLEGAL INDIANS ARE THERE?
They are doing everything to screw us out of jobs and exploit other Indians.
Any recent immigrant should have their citizenship revoked (and deported) if caught in such immigration fraud.

A Bay Area man is one of four executives of U.S. technology-industry staffing firms charged with H-1B visa fraud.
The U.S. Department of Justice alleges that Sateesh Vemuri, 52, conspired with three New Jersey men to bring foreign workers into the U.S. in 2015 and 2016 by using faked documents to obtain H-1B visas. The department in a press release Tuesday said Vemuri was from San Jose, but the criminal complaint filed in New Jersey U.S. District Court said he was from Contra Costa County.
“The object of the conspiracy was for the defendants and others to gain an advantage over their competitors in the IT-staffing industry by using fraudulent documents and false representations to obtain expedited H-lB visas for potential employees,” the criminal complaint alleged.
Vemuri and two of the other men controlled New Jersey-based IT staffing companies Procure Professionals Inc. and Krypto IT Solutions, according to the justice department. Federal authorities claim the two firms were central to the “bench-and-switch” scheme used by visa fraudsters to get around the difficulties of obtaining hard-to-get H-1B visas.
The criminal complaint alleged that the four men’s fraud conspiracy involved filing H-1B applications for foreign nationals without first finding positions for them with end clients. “The purpose of the scheme is to build a ‘bench’ of skilled foreign workers already authorized to work in the U.S., who can then be assigned to end clients immediately upon request, without the need to wait through the prolonged visa process,” the complaint alleged.
The alleged scam by Vemuri and the others included “the creation and submission of false service contracts, statements of work, and employment-verification letters by both Procure and Krypto,” the complaint alleged. Together, the two companies filed about 50 H-1B applications, all falsely stating that the foreign citizens would work for “Client A” on the “AppExchange Project,” the complaint alleged.
“In reality, however, there was no AppExchange Project, and Client A was not even in the software-development business,” the complaint alleged.
The firm Client A was controlled by two of the men charged in the alleged conspiracy, the justice department said.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services awarded H-1B visas to the alleged conspirators’ companies based on the false documents, the complaint said.
One visa recipient said he never worked on anything called “AppExchange” during his short time with Procure, but instead spent a month on a project whose purpose he didn’t understand, before finding another job on his own, the complaint claimed. Another recipient of an H-1B visa obtained by Procure said he stayed at home, unpaid, for the five months he was supposed to be working for Client A, the complaint alleged.
