A former U.S. consular officer told Newsweek that, during her service in Chennai, India, she estimated that 80–90% of H-1B and related visa applications she reviewed from India involved fraudulent documents or unqualified applicants.
Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany: “Finance Law enforcement in India claim it has uncovered a network of universities that produce fake degrees which were possibly used to obtain these high skilled H1B visas, including one school which allegedly SOLD over 36K fake degrees. It cost as little as $1,400 for one of those.”
“While these are supposed to be high skilled employees during almost all of Biden’s time in office, 83% got junior or entry level positions.”
India has accounted for over 70% of H-1B approvals in recent years, with the Department of Labor processing roughly 6.9M H-1B Labor Condition Applications (LCAs) from 2015-2025.
