US Issues Strict Warning on Employment Visa Violations
If you have a work visa in the U.S., you must follow the rules.
The government is now reminding people with these visas that if they don't work for their employer, or leave their job and don't go home, they could get in trouble.
They gave an example of someone who had a special visa for farm work, but didn't show up at the farm.
This person was found and could be sent back to their home country.
If you break the visa rules, you might have to leave the U.S.
USCIS warns employment visa holders of legal consequences for violating visa terms.
Failure to report to employers or leaving a job without returning home violates immigration laws.
USCIS cited a case of an H2A visa holder who didn't report to work.
The individual in the H2A visa case was found in California by officials and may face deportation.
The H-2A visa is for temporary agricultural workers.
