US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) revoked multiple H-1B petitions after finding a major IT consulting firm misclassified skilled technology positions to pay lower wages.

The agency stated the practice undercuts required wages and creates unfair competition, though it did not name the specific company or the number of petitions affected.

Indian-born beneficiaries accounted for 71% of all approved H-1B petitions in fiscal year 2024, making the enforcement action highly relevant to the Indian workforce.
