Infosys Ltd., the India-based outsourcing and consulting company, has reached a $1 million settlement with Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s office for “systematically abusing” U.S. visa requirements for foreign workers.
Schneiderman’s office claimed Infosys employees needed H-1B visas to perform the service being offered in New York. But the company “in order to avoid the difficulty and expense of obtaining such visas … knowingly and unlawfully obtained temporary visitor visas (B-1 visas) instead.”
