The U.S. Department of Labor's inspector general has publicly called on Rochester Regional Health to disclose how many resident physician slots at Rochester General Hospital went to doctors on H-1B or J-1 visas. Inspector General Anthony D'Esposito, a former Republican congressman from New York, posted on X on September 27: "Show us the numbers. How many residency slots went to H-1B and J-1 visa holders?" Spectrum News reported.
His post amplified a claim from an X account called Expose H1B Fraud that 80 of the hospital's 82 residents are visa holders. That figure is unverified. The account did not provide records showing residents' citizenship or immigration status, and Rochester Regional Health has not released its own count.
