If this is the list then I would say DoJ is not doing a good job. The level of H1B corruption in USA is lot more than the level of corruption in Government offices in India. Here are some malpractices I have observed in consultancies:
1. Employers takes money from an individual to file H1B. Charges are typically $4k.
2. Employer runs a fake payroll pays peanuts to the employee while showing a bug salary on paper.
3. Consultancy creates fake resume of its employees and the real work is then done by someone sitting in India. For example Consultancy hires Ms. X on H1B with no work experience. Ms X then works as consultant for an large E-Commerce giant through this consultancy through a fake resume that shows that she has 7 years of experience. Ms X cant code so she calls up a India office of the consultancy who do all the work sometimes even by screen sharing.
4. Hiring managers of large companies are bribed to discriminate against normal Americans and hire these H1Bs through consultancies.
5. Ms x working for consultancy X gets a call from a large company in bay area for interview. Ms Y goes and answers and clears the interview but Ms X joins as employee. In fact answering interview for others is what Ms Y does full time.
6. For telephonic interview many of these consultancies have setup complex systems where Ms Y answers the interiview on Skype but she has a teleprompter in front of her.
Fake H1B:
A lot of these consultancies employ people on H4,F1 or any other visa by telling their customers that these people have H1B. I suspect the large giant companies in bay area already know all this but it works on either don't as or don't tell basis or the hiring managers are bribed.
What I find most upsetting is that the media, overall tech industry does not discuss this at all.
