L-1 VISA SCAM: How India’s Cartel Cheats Americans Out of Jobs

America is being sold out through a scheme that turns our laws into a marketplace. In this interview, investigative reporter Amanda Bartolotta rips open the truth about how Indian consultancies like Mahandru Associates and the Startup Business Bureau are exploiting the L-1 visa program to flood America with fraud. These operators set up paper LLCs, fake franchises, and short-lived storefronts, then market them as “starter businesses” for foreigners who want a quick path into the United States. They advertise guaranteed entry, collect payments through cash drop-offs, Zelle, Venmo, and even post their bank details publicly, all while hiding behind disclaimers that they are not immigration attorneys. With no cap on L-1 visas and no wage requirements, the program has become a back door for India’s immigration cartel to bypass the H-1B limits and bring in entire families. Amanda shows how introducers are paid commissions like a multi-level scam, how shell companies cluster at the same addresses, and how Congress has known for decades that fraud rates in the L-1 system reach 90 percent. The American Dream is being packaged and sold to the highest bidder, while U.S. workers lose jobs, wages, and their future.
