Infosys, second largest software services company of India, has announced that the government of the US found no violations in H1-B visa case. A probe began concerning the H1-B visa case in June 2015.
The company said in a statement that, “Infosys is pleased to report that the US Department of Labor (DOL) concluded its investigation with a determination of compliance regarding labour condition applications filed in the Southern California Edison project.”
In DOL investigation in which more than 145 files were reviewed, Infosys cooperated totally and no violations were detected. Earlier in June, investigations began by the US on Infosys as well as its arch rival Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) for possible violations of rules of H-1B visa.
However, TCS has not responded yet on the matter.
H-1B visa - non-immigrant visa
A non-immigrant visa, H-1B visa is mostly used by information technology (IT) companies to employ foreign workers on temporary basis in their US offices in specialty occupations. Biggest recipients of H-1B visas are Indian IT firms.
Sandeep Dadlani Infosys EVP and Head of Americas said, “IT services companies like Infosys provide superior service, skill and scope from global centres of excellence, bringing value and technology innovations to enable American companies to be competitive and succeed.”
“We do not practice or condone unfair or unethical H-1B visa practices. Our key priority is to operate fairly, ethically and with integrity, which is good business and what our clients expect,” Mr. Dadlani said.
