Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta has announced that the Department of Labor (DOL) will more aggressively enforce laws governing the administration and enforcement of non-immigrant visa programs. The DOL will continue to work with the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security to prioritize and publicize investigations into violations of visa programs, such as the H-1B, H-2A, H-2B and PERM (Labor Certification-Green Card processing) programs. The agency plans to increase its exercise of authority to refer cases of alleged criminal fraud to its Office of Inspector General (OIG).
