DHS confirmed the arrests of two Minnesota residents, Shamso Ahmed Hassan and Hanaan Mursal Yusuf, accusing them of defrauding Medicaid out of more than $21 million.
Stop calling the H-1B visa program “cheap labor.” It’s the opposite: companies must pay prevailing wage + $9K+ average sponsorship costs (fees, lawyers,etc.). Companies sponsor because they need top talent that’s hard to find here…not to cut corners. If they wanted cheaper labor… they would outsource.
This timeline escalated fast:
Laid off on H-1B
Filed B2 near the end of the 60-day grace period
Found a new job
Filed for an H-1B transfer
Then this happened:
B2 denied
Grace period not recognized
Out of status
Final notice from USCIS:
Leave the country
or pay a $100,000 fee and reprocess abroad
Timeline went from employed → compliant → out of status in weeks
This is how the system is currently being applied

100+ days.
That's how long it's been since a single regular H-1B appointment slot was released in India.
All 5 consulates — ZERO availability.
Earliest dates pushed to 2027.
Thousands stranded.
Families torn apart.
Careers destroyed.
They followed every rule. Filed every form. Paid every fee.
And the system is punishing them for visiting their parents.
@StateDept@USCIS , Stop using Indian immigrants as your tool for political propoganda.

over $30 BILLION is now bet per year on the NFL & the league will let “150 small college refs” decide the outcome of these games?
yea I’m sure that won’t be a problem
Lol. $20 million to keep foreigners from taking jobs from Americans while also keeping them out of our country is an incredible deal. I’d be supportive of paying 100x that.
