The agency that approves H-1B visa applications is itself awarding contracts to IT staffing firms whose top executives have South Asian names — the same demographic that disproportionately benefits from H-1B visas. $26.3B in contracts. 36 flagged vendors.
The U.S. Department of Labor promotes the welfare of job seekers, wage earners, and retirees — including administering the H-1B visa program through its Office of Foreign Labor Certification. OFLC processes Labor Condition Applications that are the first step in every H-1B petition. In FY2023, DOL certified over 500,000 H-1B LCAs. The department simultaneously awards hundreds of millions in IT contracts to vendors who disproportionately employ H-1B workers.
These vendors reported highly-compensated officers with South Asian-origin names. H-1B workers disproportionately hold IT roles. Companies led by and primarily employing South Asian workers on H-1B visas are the primary vehicle for foreign worker displacement of American IT professionals in federal contracting.
