Two Indian-origin men, Sampath Rajidi and Sreedhar Mada, have pleaded guilty to H-1B visa fraud in the United States. They promised jobs at the University of California that did not exist. “The beneficiaries did not work on projects at the University,” court documents said. The duo submitted false visa petitions between 2020 and 2023. They now face up to five years in jail and a $250,000 fine. Officials said their actions took visa slots from genuine applicants. Several US agencies are investigating the case.
