The long-simmering scandal over America’s H-1B visa program has erupted into a full national crisis, as Indian law enforcement has uncovered a sprawling network of universities selling counterfeit degrees—many of which were allegedly used by foreign nationals to fraudulently obtain H-1B visas and enter the United States workforce.
The raid has set off alarm bells in Washington, and for good reason: the integrity of a program designed to attract the world’s best talent has been systematically exploited for decades.
According to initial reports, the fraud ring spans no fewer than 28 universities across India, with fake certificates and counterfeit institutional seals recovered across the medical, nursing, and engineering fields. In a staggering display of industrial-scale deception, investigators have seized approximately 100,000 counterfeit certificates so far.
The fraud bust is merely the most dramatic chapter in an ongoing story of systemic abuse that conservative voices have warned about for years. A former U.S. consular officer who served in Chennai, India — one of the world’s largest H-1B visa-processing posts — has alleged that between 80 and 90 percent of H-1B visa applications from India during her tenure contained fraudulent documentation.
