Kandi Srinivasa Reddy, a Congress leader and businessman from Telangana, is accused of manipulating the US H-1B visa lottery system through a network of interconnected staffing firms. Reports by Bloomberg and USCIS reveal that Reddy's firms used a tactic called 'multiple registration,' submitting numerous entries for the same candidates to significantly boost their chances of securing visas. This scheme allegedly secured over 300 H-1B visas since 2020, disadvantaging other legitimate applicants and businesses. Reddy, however, denies any wrongdoing, asserting that his company followed legal procedures. The broader issue highlights the exploitation of the H-1B visa system by various staffing firms, which often function more as visa brokers than employers. The USCIS has since implemented changes to reduce such fraudulent activities by 90%.
