Are they? Seems odd to me that companies would have multiple identical H1B applications filed on the same day. See I go there and I see 4 listings for DCM ASIC TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED, all for programmer analysts all making $60,000/yr all starting on 2/15/01 all set to expire 2/14/04, all for 30 H1Bs; further down the page I see one for INFOSYS TECHNOLOGIES LTD for 100 employees so I know that 30s not the max for a single filing, don't know if you could file for 120 but I know you could file for 100 on one and 20 on another; further down still I see 3 listings for UBICS INC. all 100% identical again for 50 employees each.

It doesn't make sense for these to be unique applications, they are 100% identical across the board. I think whatever method they're using to cull out this information is duplicating entries, there are too many of the 100% identical duplicates for any other explanation. If it was one or two companies I could write it off as bad paperwork habits, but every search I do in any city going for any time frame gives me at least 1 of these per page. That's gotta be a bad data procedure on their part. Also if you hilight text you'll find there are invisible characters all over the place, when you include that these become unique entires, I think they have something to do with why these dups are showing up. Now I'm a nice guy so I'll assume sloppy code not deliberate falsification of data, but either way the site isn't presenting an accurate picture.

The website is down right now, so I can't verify what you said. I doubt you were setting the search criteria properly though, as NONE of the searches that I've performed had any of the characteristics you describe. I'll check back later and see what I can find about the specific case you mention.

My God. For that company alone, there's 104 applications with 30 workers each, scattered throughout the United States. Sure some cities are listed multiple times, but that could simply indicate a maximum number of 30 records per application...
