American economist Dr. Dave Bratt has alleged large-scale fraud in the H-1B visa system. He claimed in a podcast that a district in India has secured more than double the total number of visas legally approved in the US. This comment of Bratt has created an uproar in America.

Speaking on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, Brat said the H-1B system has been taken over by fraud on an industrial scale. He stressed that visa allocation from India has reached a level that violates statutory limits.

Indians got more H-1B visas than China
Bratt said, “71 percent of H-1B visas come from India and only 12 percent from China. This clearly shows that something is wrong there.” He further said, “There is a limit of only 85,000 H-1B visas, yet Chennai, a district in India, got 2,20,000 visas. This is 2.5 times more than the limit set by Congress. This clearly means that this is a scam.”

‘They are taking away your house’
Brat has presented this issue as a direct threat to American workers. He said that when one of them comes and claims that he has skill and this is not skill, then this is fraud. “They are taking away your family’s job, your house, your everything.”

Nearly 220,000 H-1B visas issued in 2024
According to reports, the US Consulate in Chennai has processed approximately 220,000 H-1B visas and an additional 140,000 H-4 dependent visas in 2024. The Consulate handles applications from four major regions: Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Telangana, making it one of the busiest H-1B processing centers in the world. These claims highlight afresh the allegations of Indian-origin American Foreign Service officer Mahvash Siddiqui. In an interview, Siddiqui had described the H-1B system as full of fake documents and proxy applicants. Siddiqui had worked in the Chennai Consulate about two decades ago.
