1/2     So what can be done to try getting H1-B abusers in hot water?
        I know this company comprised entirely of Indians with a large
        proportion being H1-Bs who at this point are not provided with
        insurance. They also agree to work for free instead of being
        sent home.
        \_ One of the various California labor boards would probably do it.
           Also, since H1b is a Federal program, you can look up which agency
           runs it and contact them anonymously on the phone.

        \_ Call the INS (and/or Dept. of Labor) and report what you
           know. Make sure you have some sort of evidence to back up
           your claim, since most of these places have fake docs for
           I hope that you get the greedy bastards who run that company
           stuff like insurance and pay. Also the employees are scared
           shitless that they will be arrested, tortured and deported
           \_ hmm, my only evidence is what an employee there has told me.
              getting anything more would be hard unless i could convince
              this employee to rat on them but he works there himself and
              is also Indian... I didn't get the feeling he'd do it.
              actually he didn't "tell" me, he told my s.o. who blabbed to me.
           so you can't rely on them giving truthful statements to the
           authorities.
           I hope that you get the greedy bastards who run the company
           thrown in jail. They deserve to spend sometime with others
           of their kind.

                \_ boy that sounds like reliable information
                   \_ that's the only information that would ever exist
                      in such cases. the h1b program is bs and needs to
                      be scrapped. you think they're going to publicize
                      their crimes?
                        \_ There may be emails and/or financial records
                           that contain sufficient evidence for the INS
                           or Dept. of Labor to begin an investigation.
                           If OP worked at the company he might be able
                           to gather enough information to take to the
                           authorities. In this case it will be hard for
                           him to get the information.
