Sunnyvale Man Sentenced To 15 Months For Visa Fraud

 

Defendant Falsified Over 100 H-1B Visa Applications And Obtained More Than $1.5 Million In Fraud Proceeds

SAN JOSE – Kishore Kumar Kavuru was sentenced late yesterday in federal court to 15 months in prison for making false statements in foreign worker visa applications, announced Acting United States Attorney Stephanie M. Hinds, U.S. Department of Labor Office of Inspector General Special Agent in Charge Quentin Heiden, Los Angeles Region, and Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent in Charge Tatum King.  The sentence was handed down by United States District Judge Edward J. Davila.   

Kavuru, 49, of Sunnyvale, California, pleaded guilty to one count of visa fraud on May 24, 2021.  In his plea agreement, Kavuru stated he owned, operated, and was CEO of four different staffing companies.  His companies specialized in obtaining H-1B visas for foreign skilled workers and placing these individuals in the United States at technology firms seeking qualified H-1B contractors.  Known as H-1B Specialty Occupation Workers program, the H-1B visa program allows an employer to temporarily hire a skilled foreign worker in the United States on a nonimmigrant basis.  The position must qualify as a “specialty occupation,” that is, one that requires the application of specialized knowledge and a bachelor’s degree or equivalent in the specialty.  At the four staffing companies he owned and ran, Kavuru was responsible for creating H-1B visa applications for foreign workers and submitting them to the appropriate government agencies of the United States.

Kavuru admitted in his plea agreement that from 2009 through at least 2017 he engaged in a scheme to obtain H-1B visas from government agencies by submitting H-1B applications that contained false and fraudulent statements.  Kavuru admitted to submitting more than one hundred applications that falsely described available H-1B positions and falsely stated that the H-1B workers were to be placed at the positions at specific companies.  Kavuru admitted he knew at the time he submitted the applications that the companies did not have the named jobs and that he did not intend to place the workers at those companies.  None of those foreign skilled workers were ever placed at those companies.  Kavuru – or one of his employees at Kavuru’s direction – nevertheless signed the visa applications attesting under penalty of perjury to the truth of those false statements.
