A US district court has ruled in favor of H-1B visa holders, affirming their right to legal action if their visa is revoked due to employer fraud via multiple filings. Ten Indian citizens filed the lawsuit after their visas were cancelled for similar reasons. The court recognized the beneficiaries right to notification before revocation, addressing a procedural violation by the USCIS.
Not just the former US President, but Donald Trump s son-in-law and White House advisor Jared Kushner s investment company was also found to have used H-1B visas to hire workers.
Trump Media & Technology Group, led by Devin Nunes, applied for H-1B visas for Truth Social workers. Jared Kushner s firm also utilized the program. The H-1B visa system faces scrutiny for potential exploitation of foreign workers with Trump s conflicting stances.
