@ 7:48 mark, "How Can I Help Investigate?" https://fraudreporter.visadata.org/.
11:47. Oh you put your business as you are residential home no you actually have to comply with the laws with the H1B and the LCA that you have to post the actual work site location. You have to update it if you change the work site. And so that's where it gets dicey from what we're finding. But tell me this, how often do you run into the flex space, "we work" type locations, because when we're looking into this we're coming into a lot of random, remote, virtual office spaces the coworking spaces, where you're sharing space with other remote employees. Have you come across that as well a lot?
12:30. Yeah, I think you can bucket it into three different types. There's a home which really makes you wonder if there's a bona fide job at all which is required to file the LCA. Makes you wonder if it's even a real business. There's also those that are in the workstiles, where you go and you rent a virtual space, they may or may not even have an office. And then there's that third bucket where you go in and you rent a suite in a building. None of them seem particularly legitimate at least those that you have a door you can knock on. You can request the public access file. I found one in Sugarland the other day that is above a U-Haul center. Absolutely just riddled with them. And then there's one fourth trend caveat: they all tend to have an immigration lawyer within a stone's throw of where these places are set up.
13:25. You obviously know a lot about this H-1B visa issue and you're passionate about it, but what made you decide to do all of this?
13:33. It's really two things. One is my daughter. My oldest daughter graduated from high school last year, and I'm going to brag for a second, she had a 4.5 GPA; she graduated with 32 college credits coming out of high school, every EC, extracurricular, that you could imagine, whether it was athletic or academic. She graduated in Colorado where my ex-wife lives. So when she tried to get into the University of Texas at Austin and was rejected from the entire school system, I thought maybe there's more than just the work visa happening. I work in big Tech. I'd seen my team's change drastically in the last 5 years in terms of demographics. I saw a lot of foreigners being brought in, and then when it hit home it was my daughter that's really what pushed me over the edge.
