Site Visit

<p>USCIS's Fraud Detection and National Security (FDNS) unit conducts <b>site visits</b> to employers who have sponsored H-1B (and L-1) workers.</p><p>An officer may visit the office or worksite to confirm that:</p><ul><li>The H-1B employee is working in the role described</li><li>At the location on the petition</li><li>Being paid the wage promised</li></ul><p>They often ask to speak to the H-1B employee and an HR representative. With the 2025 regulation, DHS's authority to do site visits and penalize non-cooperation is now codified. These visits are to detect fraud or non-compliance (like H-1B not actually working there, etc.).</p>
