H-1B Worker Takes on ‘Fraud by Association’ Visa Revocations

[Aquaman]

• USCIS seeking to revoke H-1B for fraud by former employer
• Question of whether employer or worker can challenge decision 

Chicago-based tech worker Sridhara Alavala is trying to block the government from revoking his temporary work visa over his former employer’s 15-year-old fraud. 

He’s currently arguing before a federal judge in Washington, D.C., that US Citizenship and Immigration Services put him on the hook for the misconduct and failed to let him know of its intent to revoke his H-1B specialty occupation visa. 

USCIS even acknowledges the fraud was committed by the president of Kronsys Inc. and not Alavala, his lawsuit says, yet the agency is still going forward with a revocation that could lead to his removal from the US for something he didn’t do.

“Basically it’s fraud by association,” said Jonathan Wasden, Alavala’s attorney.

The case comes amid a USCIS crackdown on the H-1B practices of third-party contracting companies like Kronsys, which can have adverse effects on the workers themselves
