Texas journalist Sara Gonzales brought Department of Labor Inspector General Anthony D’Esposito to the registered office of Mohammad Abbas in Texas, accusing him of selling H-1B visas and Green Cards. In her recent video, Gonzales documented what happened leading to the visit of D'Esposito, who was in Texas for an on-the-ground inspection of H-1B visa fraud. The DOL announced a massive crackdown on H-1B scams and the field visit was part of the inspection that Trump officials are doing to check if companies sponsoring H-1B visas are fake.

Sara Gonzales said she was reached out to by several whistleblowers who claimed to have been defrauded by Abbas who runs many companies -- all with a single address. The whistleblowers claimed that they paid Abbas for sponsoring visas but they did not get visa and lost the money. Gonzales first visited Abbas's office and then his residence and found no one at either place. She then called Abbas and directly asked him if he sold visas and Green Cards. Abbas told her that he sells 'Indian concerts' and when Sara asked him for a meeting, he said he would let her know via text.
