A federal indictment alleges the CEO and human resources manager of San Jose-based PerfectVIPs submitted 85 bogus applications and laundered $1 million in proceeds.
SAN JOSE – Two South Bay executives have been charged with submitting dozens of bogus H-1B visa applications and laundering $1 million in proceeds, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
“We believe we will ultimately prevail as the allegations are based on withdrawn policies that the Trump administration attempted to enforce that discriminated against Indian entrepreneurs and harm the economic agility of Silicon Valley,” said Chris Cannon of San Francisco-based law firm Sugarman & Cannon in a statement Friday.
“This practice provided PerfectVIPs an unfair and illegal advantage over employment staffing firms,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office said, adding that the indictment alleges other employers paid fees of nearly $7 million to PerfectVIPs to cover the cost of the workers’ wages and salaries as well as a profit markup for the firm.
