Texas targets nearly 30 companies over alleged H 1B ghost offices and fake workplace claims

Some firms allegedly sponsor workers from locations they never run

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says nearly 30 North Texas businesses may be misusing the H-1B visa program by operating “ghost offices.” He alleges some companies fake a real operational presence to qualify for sponsorship of foreign workers, and is demanding extensive records to prove compliance. The crackdown is framed as a bid to stop fraud and prevent abuse of the visa system.
