ICE严打OPT，大家小心啦

https://www.politico.com/news/2026/05/12/ice-optional-practical-training-fraud-00916797 ICE: More than 10,000 potential fraud cases related to student job program Immigration hard-liners have argued that companies have used the Optional Practical Training to avoid hiring higher-paid American college graduates. “Our nation will not tolerate security threats originating from the foreign student program,” ICE acting Director Todd Lyons said. | Francis Chung/POLITICO By https://www.politico.com/staff/eric-bazail-eimil05/12/2026 01:42 PM EDT Immigration and Customs Enforcement has identified more than 10,000 cases of potential fraud associated with a program that allows foreign students to extend their stay in the United States after graduating from college, ICE acting Director Todd Lyons told reporters Tuesday. At a press conference with officials from ICE and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Lyons outlined some of the findings of an agency investigation into fraud associated with the Optional Practical Training program. OPT allows foreign nationals who enter the United States on a student visa to work in the U.S. for 12, or in some cases 24, months. The program also allows students to transition to an H-1B visa sponsored by employers. “Our nation will not tolerate security threats originating from the foreign student program,” Lyons said. Lyons and other officials outlined how federal investigators conducted site visits, identifying among other things, cases where OPT beneficiaries were being “managed” by employees based in India, in violation of a provision of the program requiring U.S. training and direction. They also alleged some shell companies were committing financial fraud and violating U.S. law by helping the recent grads stay in the U.S. without sponsorship from a legitimate U.S. company. The findings are likely to embolden those on the right calling for changes to these visa programs. Immigration hard-liners have long criticized OPT and other programs allowing certain students and high-skilled employees from around the world to enter the U.S. and work for U.S. firms, arguing that companies have used those programs to avoid hiring higher-paid American college graduates. OPT was already in the administration’s line of sight. In 2025, the Trump administration https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/25/foreign-students-visas-donald-trump-00311600, including OPT recipients, prompting a wave of litigation by students who claimed their student status was wrongfully terminated. And USCIS chief Joseph Edlow told lawmakers in 2025 he would move to end the program, which is not enshrined in federal law.

HelloFox: cases where OPT beneficiaries were being “managed” by employees based in India HelloFox: violating U.S. law by helping the recent grads stay in the U.S. without sponsorship from a legitimate U.S. company 这指的是ICC？

我记得老中毕业后也有暂时落草ICC的吧

现在真不容易 唉 都多小心

只是搞了个记者发布会，说more information forthcoming，还没发网页。先cite一下发布会内容再逐例分析。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiq-_m-XnHU We discovered coordinated employer clusters where numerous employers in the same building complex are running nearly identical websites, sharing job postings and management personnel, but claiming no business relationships with each other. We found shell company schemes where multiple OPT employers are established by the same owner operator, indicating a deliberate scheme to structure income and evade taxes. We’ve encountered employers who claim only a handful of OPT employees despite our record showing that hundreds of students claim to work there. To give you an example, one employer we visited claimed to employ only three foreign students through OPT, while our records show over 500 foreign students claiming to work there. The company’s representatives were unable to answer basic questions about the business and deferred to HR managers in India. OPT employers are required to directly train foreign students. But we’ve seen multiple examples of alleged employers claiming that all management is overseas in India. We’ve also discovered multiple state networks where are large which are large networks of alleged employers claiming to train thousands of foreign students in OPT then farming them out to unreported third party employers making oversight nearly impossible and raising serious national security issues. And we found potential evidence of international financial fraud. Our investigators have discovered questionable financial networks crossing multiple countries involving numerous bank accounts and complex transactions. These cases aren’t limited by geography. In Houston, we found an alleged OPT employer accused of pay-to-stay visa fraud who was charging students under the table to help them fraudulently maintain visa status. The phony employer had never operated from the listed address and over 100 foreign students allegedly employed there were nowhere to be found. In Georgia, we found an alleged IT company’s address was nothing but a PO box. The owner operated a second related company across the street, also allegedly employing dozens of foreign students. The location was empty. One of the company’s websites was flagged by DHS firewalls as as potential malware, a common marker of fraudulent OPT employers. In New Jersey, we discovered an OPT employer who claimed to employ over 150 foreign students, but couldn’t answer basic questions about who they were or what they were hired to do. We only encountered one of these students who revealed he had not worked for the listed company in over a year. He was instead being trained by a company based in India. And in a New York condo allegedly housing dozens of foreign students, a supposed employer became visibly upset and denied any knowledge of the company despite DHS records and student reports confirming otherwise. A foreign student confirmed the individual was the owner, but could not explain his denial. HSI will continue to investigate these cases among several others. Thank you, John. Let me be clear. Foreign students themselves are entering false addresses, employer names into the student and exchange visitor information system. But we are uncovering evidence of organized fraud that spans national international borders. This is not accidental. It is deliberate, coordinated, and criminal.

Wi-Fi: We found shell company schemes where multiple OPT employers are established by the same owner operator, indicating a deliberate scheme to structure income and evade taxes. Wi-Fi: pay-to-stay visa fraud not news：这些事findream时代就有了啊。pay-to-stay当然存在，现在拿出来向不懂事的傻白甜群众造势是何必。案件规模10k+也没啥好惊讶的，当年Findream老板一个人就砍下2.7k，NBC List加起来都不止10k了。 Wi-Fi: HR managers in India ICC的I真的在I啊，好惊讶 Wi-Fi: And we found potential evidence of international financial fraud. Our investigators have discovered questionable financial networks crossing multiple countries involving numerous bank accounts and complex transactions. 传说中的用印度卢比进贡，挺合理的，挂靠发工资是自己出，为了避免被发现要给老板转卢比或者人民币 Wi-Fi: IT company’s address was nothing but a PO box. 太挂壁了，是不是当初为了撸卡注册公司只需要地址，转型拓展业务搞商务OPT商务H1b的时候没想着租写字楼。ICC应该不至于这样，要in person教 简历造假 写码秘籍。 Wi-Fi: He was instead being trained by a company based in India. 我收回上面那句话，好像教简历造假也不需要in person。 各位最近找 大老板 和ICC挂靠过的坛友小心谨慎（不要离境，转换其他身份时备好律师）。我看他们拉清单应该是按人头，有几十个OPT雇员却没什么真实业务/本地员工的公司被target。

我有种感觉，这些事ICE的公务员们其实早就知道了，以前睁一只眼闭一只眼，现在政治上有需要时就拿出来拉清单，这样可以各取所需，还不用闹得满城风雨。

若是为了造牌，也太晚了点，大统领飞机都落地了

主要是满足执政团队的路线要求，既要维持对移民强硬的姿态，又不能搞得电视上到处播放抓人时哭得撕心裂肺的画面

Wi-Fi: Findream老板 她都坐完牢回中国去了，你还鞭尸

Wi-Fi: charging students under the table to help them fraudulently maintain visa status 泥潭里的人斤斤计较，应该不会这样被人薅羊毛 这种纯赚信息差，无良 ICC

不敢上强度说明maga基本盘还不够大啊

你说的对，泥潭的画风是铤而走险赚钱，岂有让坛友被薅的道理。宁教我负天下人，休教天下人负我。坛友自然是站在收钱的这一测，当挂靠和带抽小老板。 /t/290671/3901 在论坛里宣传过他家的h1b挂靠 https://www.uscardforum.com/t/topic/351542/32 可以是“代没抽中”业务 https://www.uscardforum.com/t/topic/351542/31 就算抽中了也告诉客户没抽中不就无风险零本万利了吗 最不济也是服务搞OPT自雇的群体，卖点教程或者收费代办注册公司 https://www.uscardforum.com/t/topic/147025/1 谭里有不少人搞过自雇 https://www.uscardforum.com/t/topic/81583/21 无收入自雇 顺便趁着无收入OPT自雇搞https://www.uscardforum.com/t/topic/418369/5、https://www.uscardforum.com/t/topic/338413。

大部分Icc还是有真工作的 10年前就打击过opt挂靠收费的公司 我认识个人也在那挂过 目前还没事
