Whistleblower adds evidence in H-1B visa lawsuit against suing Apple and Infosys (The Mercury News)

November 26, 2018

A whistleblower suing Apple and global IT services and outsourcing provider Infosys added new evidence to support his legal claim that the two companies conspired to evade visa laws, The (San Jose, Calif.) Mercury News reported. The whistleblower is Carl Krawittt, a former contractor for Infosys and Apple. A federal judge last month ruled in Apple’s favor and dismissed the case, but left the door open for Krawittt to produce more information. “Infosys avoids paying the United States the substantially higher application fee for H-1B visas, and avoids paying Social Security, Medicare and other fees and taxes to the United States,” the amended complaint said. “Apple willingly participated in lnfosys’ scheme by contracting with Infosys for workers on B-1 visas instead of hiring United States citizens and/or green card holders as full-time employees at market rate compensation. Apple did so as a cost-savings measure.”
