Lizzie,

Another interesting H1-B tidbit from my old job: After about 4 months I started noticing that most of our clerical staff were married to the H1-B people who worked at the company. It turned out that most of these spouses were also working for free! And this is a violation of the H1-B program rules! When the company knew someone from the government might come by to check the company on compliance they would send the spouse/clerical workers home. I can only imagine that when the company was recruiting people to bring over that potential employees were made to understand that their families would be required to provide this type of assistance to the company as a quid pro quo for sponsoring them to come to the land of wide screen TVs and take out food.

By the way, the founder and owner of the company was from the same country of origin as the H1-B people.
