Indian offshore giant Infosys is facing a federal grand jury probe over the use of B-1 visas by its workers, an inquiry that was touched off by a lawsuit filed by a U.S. employee of the company.
Infosys, which relies heavily on visa holders to deliver outsourcing services to U.S. companies, announced this week a subpoena issued by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas "requires us to provide information to the grand jury regarding our sponsorships for, and uses of, B-1 business visas."
The company said it plans to cooperate with the grand jury investigation. Infosys filed notice of the grand jury investigation on Tuesday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. A B-1 visa is a business visitor visa that is intended for short-term projects, such as attending meetings and conferences.
