U.S. Cracks OPT Scam: Indians Must Be Scared?

The United States authorities have been going, particularly hard against the Indian immigration population. They have been striking the employment opportunities of the Indian community as well with as much intensity.

Now it is being established that the United States authorities have discovered a massive OPT Visa scam in the United States, which has been looting their economy. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials say investigators uncovered widespread irregularities involving nearly 10,000 foreign students participating in the federal government’s Optional Practical Training (OPT) program.

Authorities allege many students claimed employment with highly suspicious companies that may have been created to exploit the visa system. The shocking thing is that this OPT mechanism was largely utilised by the Indian community students in the US.

According to investigators, agents found empty office buildings, locked business locations, and residential homes listed as job sites for hundreds of students despite no evidence of active operations.

Officials also reported multiple companies using the same addresses without leases, offshore HR contacts, and businesses tied to tax liens, civil lawsuits, and breach-of-contract claims as the investigation continues.

This is going to be a very serious order of investigation by the United States Authority, and there could be pretty significant consequences in the near future. It is better for the Indian community students to be aware of the situation and act accordingly.
