Amid increased scrutiny of H-1B visa program in the US, a new job posting on LinkedIn by one Prasad DP has reached Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K Dhillon who called it illegal and vowed action against it. "This is not legal. We will look into this @CivilRights," Dhillon said, reacting to the post, which only wanted H-1B candidates. This is not the first time that the Indian-origin Trump official warned about such job postings. Earlier, she spoke against LanceSoft, an IT staffing firm, which invited applications from only H-1B visa holders and strictly barred US citizens from applying. Dhillon at that time said a team of the Civil Rights Division has been working with agencies and the White House on such cases and the department was hiring staff, including lawyers, to crack a whip on such cases.
In the latest case, a look into Prasad DP's LinkedIn profile revealed that the person, based out of South Carolina, is a business development manager at an IT firm, which was hiring for its client New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities, which is a state government office in Albany, New York.
