‘Bags of cash in Texas and Mumbai’: Immigration attorney reveals 5 signs of H-1B trafficking employees must be aware of

An immigration attorney took to social media to make H-1Bs aware of the red flags in their jobs that indicate they are being abused by their recruiters. Attorney Brad Banias cited an example of a client who he said was asked to pay their employer “in bags of cash in Texas and Mumbai”.

Cases of H-1B trafficking are not rare where foreign workers are recruited by employers, staffing firms or middlemen who control their immigration status.
