Atul Nanda and Jiten ‘Jay’ Nanda, Indian-American brothers have been found guilty of committing visa fraud and are sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment.

The brothers took advantage of the H-1B visa program, an especially designed tool to help foreign workers and their businesses. Their scheme worked as they employed foreign workers in their IT consulting company, Dibon Solutions and sponsored H-1B visas for the workers without actually giving positions to them in the company, keeping them on bench with out pay which is illegal.

The workers then started working with third-party companies and the Nanda brothers made sure that Dibon solutions got paid for their services, providing them with skilled employees who work on a low salary.
