Indian software giant and outsourcing firm Infosys is expected to pay a $35 million fine to settle visa fraud charges — the largest fine of its kind in United States history.
The government is expected to announce tomorrow that a joint investigation by the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security found that the Indian company gamed the immigration system in order to increase company profits.

Infosys, which is the world’s second-largest software exporter, allegedly used inexpensive B-1 visas instead of harder-to-receive and more expensive H-1B work visas for employees based in the U.S. for long-term assignments.

35 mill ??? how much profit did it make by breaking this law? The fine should be double the "REVENUE" generated by all those hired by breaking the law and quadruple it for compensatory damages.

Yes, 35 mil is a pittance. The companies which let these B1s work at their sites need to be punished as well. They want to cut costs and will do whatever it takes to save money.
