USCIS Denies, Revokes H-1B Petitions from IT Firm Over Wage Misclassification

US Citizenship and Immigration Services has denied and revoked several H-1B visa petitions submitted by a major IT consulting firm. The agency determined that skilled tech roles had been assigned to lower wage levels than their actual duties warranted. According to USCIS, this misclassification practice suppresses required wages and creates an uneven playing field for American workers. The agency stated the action was taken to uphold the integrity of the H-1B program and ensure accurate job classification. USCIS stressed that proper position categorization is a fundamental requirement under the H-1B visa system.
