Recently,
a major information technology company reached an out-court-settlement with an
ex-employee who had reportedly alleged visa violations and victimization by the
Company. While such a settlement is not
an acceptance of liability or any wrong-doing, the development seems to have
created apprehensions of more such allegations against companies who are major
users of US non-immigrant employment visas. The US
immigration laws are clear as to what visa can be used for what purpose, and
there should be no confusion. If the employers get the right guidance and
follow the regulations, allegations of misuse can be avoided. Please see a related news item where this author
