NEW DELHI: Even as the race for filing H-1B work permit applications for fiscal year 2009 hots up, the US Embassy in Delhi is concerned over the growing number of fraudulent petitions from India. Peter G Kaestner, minister counsellor for consular affairs and consul-general at the US Embassy in Delhi, told ET: “The number of bogus petitions for H1B visas from India being filed with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is on the rise. This has caused great concern because it adversely impacts genuine business people from India who may lose out because the number of H1B visas issued every year are capped at 65,000.â€
