Immigration lawyer Rahul Reddy said he has been seeing stories on social media that Indians in the US will only hire Indians and H-1Bs, and added that he founded the Reddy-Newman Brown C law firm, but none of the lawyers in his firm are Indians. The comments come as Texas whistleblower Sarah Gonzales is looking for H-1B employers and knocking on the doors of Indian-origin employers. Most of these are staffing companies that hire H-1Bs from India for other clients and therefore often have no employees in their registered offices, but Gonzales rounded up some employers in his YouTube video and showed that these employers did not have all the answers.Another news that fueled the ‘Indians only hire Indians’ narrative on social media was that a Chinese-American assistant professor, Dr. Sean Wangam, had sued Dr. Hemang Desai, head of the department at Southern Methodist University in Texas, accusing him of favoring only Indians.“Social media watchdogs are doing a lot of homework, which we like, before they’re going after certain people, but the way they’re presenting it is as if if there’s an Indian manager, he’ll only hire Indians or H-1Bs. I founded my own law firm but none of my partners are Indian,” Reddy said during his weekly immigration update with Emily Newman. Rahul Reddy founded Reddy Newman Brown PC in 1997. The firm’s current partners are Crystal Alanis, Rebecca Chen, Emmylou Newman, Steven Brown, Ryan Wilk.Newman said it is true that the H-1B program, like every other government program, is rife with fraud but that does not mean the entire process is bad and that everyone involved is a bad actor.Reddy said, “The US government has announced that overall STEM skills are low and they highly encourage US citizens to study STEM degrees. The demand is high and companies cannot find enough US citizens in STEM. But there is a false picture given on social media about H-1B and we want to correct that.”
