New Delhi, Nov. 15 -- The United States Labour Department issued a stern warning to companies against utilising temporary work visas as a foundational business strategy, signalling further suspensions and intensified investigations into alleged immigration fraud.

Speaking in an interview with Fox News, US Labour Department Inspector General Anthony D'Esposito emphasised that employment-based visa programmes are meant to be temporary stopgaps rather than permanent corporate strategies.

"The visa system and these visas that are in place are all temporary. They are not a method of doing business. You're only supposed to use, for example, an H1B visa if you cannot find a willing and able American to do the same job," D'Esposito said.
