Bay Area Tech Executives Indicted for H-1B Visa Fraud
San Jose Mercury News ^ | March 27, 2017 | Louis Hansen

Two Bay Area tech executives are accused of filing false visa documents through a staffing agency in a scheme to illegally bring a pool of foreign tech workers into the United States.

An indictment from a federal grand jury unsealed on Friday accuses Jayavel Murugan, Dynasoft Synergy’s chief executive officer, and a 40-year-old Santa Clara man, Syed Nawaz, of fraudulently submitting H-1B applications in an effort to illegally obtain visas, according to Brian Stretch, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of California.

The men are charged with 26 counts of visa fraud, conspiracy to commit visa fraud, use of false documents, mail fraud and aggravated identity theft, according to prosecutors. Each charge can carry penalties of between two and 20 years in prison.

Murugan, 46, is co-owner of Dynasoft, an employment firm based in Fremont with an office in India, according to the indictment. Nawaz is believed to have worked for several Bay Area tech companies, including Cisco, Brocade Communications and Equinix.

I doubt any such firms are “legit.”

This is how it works:
“Hello, I’m with IndiaCheapLabor and I might have a job for you based on your LinkedIn posting”
“So tell me about it?”
“Well we are looking for someone very experienced like yourself for a 3 month contract at 30/hr.”

“Click”

“Senator...my company has searched and searched and can’t find qualified people for high tech jobs. We need H1b to keep our economy going”

HIRE AMERICANS FIRST--Trump’s administration has drafted an executive order aimed at overhauling the work-visa programs technology companies depend on to hire tens of thousands of employees each year. The desired outcome is to have companies hire Americans first.

...”Two Bay Area tech executives are accused of filing false visa documents through a staffing agency in a scheme to illegally bring a pool of foreign tech workers into the United States”...article reads.

As if we didn’t know this was happening...and there are vastly more doing likewise.

Many of the refugee agencies are working hand in glove “illegally” to bring people here by forging documents etc.

Bottom line...setting up any agency involved with migration or immigration or visa’s is corrupt after Obamas 8 yrs. He saw to that...

From their names it appears they may have been importing muslim terrorists under the H1B program.

I have about 20 years in IT and I am beyond cynical. It was great for a while. Then it wasn’t.

Executives build their rep by shaving dollars off of their expenses and bringing in money. The company sees internal IT as solely an expense. At our height, we gave fantastic service but it was five of us running our asses off. When I got the axe, there were two.

The H-1B visa program is a form of economic terrorism perpetrated against the American tech sector worker.
