NEW DELHI / WASHINGTON, D.C.: A viral post on X by the handle Expose H1B Fraud (@JobsNowPaper) has triggered controversy after claiming that a newly surfaced internal document from ITServe Alliance — a U.S.-based lobbying group representing IT services companies — reveals extensive efforts to influence American immigration and labor policies involving H1B and OPT visa programs.
The post alleges that the group has been “out-maneuvering USCIS, DOL, and Congress for years” and shaping decisions behind closed doors in ways that reportedly benefit outsourcing and staffing firms that depend heavily on temporary work visas.

The post labels the organization as an “Indian tech cartel” and calls for dismantling what it describes as a coordinated lobbying network.
Document Highlights Legislative and Legal Wins
The document attached to the viral post highlights several achievements claimed by ITServe Alliance, including:
-
Reversal of USCIS restrictions on OPT (I-983) holders working at third-party client locations.
-
Withdrawal of the 2010 Neufeld Memo, which previously tightened H1B client–employee relationship requirements.
-
Rescinding of itinerary and client letter mandates required for H1B extensions or transfers.
-
Challenges against H1B wage increases imposed by the Department of Labor.
-
Legal intervention in the H1B lottery process, preserving the current selection system.
The document, dated May 22, 2022, lists links to press releases and official government sites referencing some of the actions, along with ongoing litigation including:
-
H1B amendments involving employer–employee models
-
Refund demands for rejected status changes
-
Pushback against visa delays at U.S. consulates in India
Lobbying and Future Goals
The document further outlines plans such as:
-
Meeting 150 legislators in Washington, D.C.
-
Building a connected PAC to support lobbying influence
-
Introducing the HIRE Act (High-skilled Immigration Reform for Employment)
Critics vs. Supporters
The @JobsNowPaper post argues that these activities represent organized manipulation of U.S. laws for commercial gain, often tied to alleged visa fraud schemes.
On the other hand, ITServe Alliance has historically maintained that it advocates for fair policy treatment for small and mid-sized IT consulting firms and protects legal immigrants from unfair restrictions.
