Who is Kandi Srinivasa Reddy? Indian American Involved in H-1B Lottery Scam

Kandi Srinivasa Reddy, an Indian businessman from Telangana, is under scrutiny for his alleged involvement in an immigration fraud scheme that manipulated the US H-1B visa lottery system. A Bloomberg investigation into Reddy's activities has revealed a complex network of companies and systematic abuse of visa procedures, raising serious concerns about the integrity of the system.

Kandi Srinivasa Reddy Involved in H-1B Fraud

Reddy, an individual with ties to both the US and India, is allegedly involved in a conspiracy to manipulate the H-1B visa lottery system through a process known as "multiple registrations." This tactic involves the same person submitting numerous applications under different company names, significantly increasing the chances of being selected in the lottery.

According to a Bloomberg report, Reddy controlled several companies, including Cloud Big Data Technologies LLC and Machine Learning Technologies LLC. These companies, with similar names and addresses, submitted thousands of applications and secured hundreds of H-1B visas. This manipulation not only manipulated the lottery system, but also disadvantaged companies that played by the rules.

Data from 2020 to 2023 accessed by Bloomberg shows that Reddy's candidates were almost certain to win the lottery. His companies received a total of 54 visas, far more than the previous year. Since 2020, they have received more than 300 visas.

Changes to the lottery system to stop fraud and select the right talent. For example, if a person is recommended by multiple companies, they are given a higher rating. These changes were scammed by recruitment agencies. According to the data, the average salary of a recruitment agency in 2023 was about $90,000, while the average salary of a general employer was $125,000. Reddy's new recruits made about $87,000.

Lucas Garritson, a Texas lawyer representing Reddy, told Bloomberg that USCIS did not follow proper procedures to ban the activity and did not have evidence that Reddy's company violated the rules.

Reddy's involvement goes beyond business. He was the Congress candidate from Adilabad constituency. He has set up a foundation that helps farmers and also runs a media company. Bloomberg reported that despite his claims that he had minimal involvement in companies related to the visa scam, documents and public statements suggest that Reddy played a much larger role.
