ExxonMobil rarely brings employees to US using the H‑1B program. Unlike many large tech companies that rely heavily on H‑1B sponsorship for early‑career hires (barely holding BS degree, 80+% from India). EM does not sponsor any type of visa for certain nationalities, so those individuals must join as U.S. citizens or green card holders. But for the rest(mostly fresh PhD graduates) join EM using their OPT (which can be extended up to 3 years). When they join, EM applies for H‑1B for some of them, If they get selected, they can extend it up to 6 years. (EM bring EM employees from India to us on L1 visa for "temp assignment")
The most common practice involves EB‑1 and EB‑2 green card petitions. These categories should be filed by individuals who meet specific criteria NOT the company, but ExxonMobil sometimes files these petitions on behalf of “top performers” instead of pursuing H‑1B or O‑1 options (EM doe does not apply under EM name it applies under the name of employee, loophole...). All of these immigration filings require legal counsel, and each petition can cost the company several thousand dollars, with additional expenses when family members are included.

Correct. https://tips.uscis.gov/ go here and report.
It is fraud to file for EB1 and EB2 for employees
@dc then EM should hire 10000 people in Guyana. EM is a multi-nation company, not an American company
HR bi--hes must have crapped their britches when the fire went up at other companies.
Whatever to protect themselves and the list of incapable, disqualified and mediocre individuals they are bringing to take our jobs.
That is the main issue here
Corporations making money in America must hire a Americans.
Stop diverging from the main issue. I contacted everybody that has to know about the sneaky way EM is destroying America!
@OP Yup. That's why all these new hires want their names on patents/papers. For EB1 and EB2
Is this Karen from HR posting this? Lmfao
"Many think yesterday's restrictions on IT outsourcing and suspension of H-1B and green-card sponsorship is for American workers' benefits. Don't be silly. That's not how capitalism works. Who were having lunch with the president in the white house last week? Right, the AI labs' and chip makers CEOs. Got it? Those jobs will go to AI."
Top performers my a-s. They are carpet bo----g US employees with huge numbers of new employees from India into the USA to be taught by US employees how to do the job so they can fire the US employees.
Someone from BTC in US attempting to manipulate
EM heavily use L1/L2 and its pure abuse
Know the rules. Report suspected L-1 / L-2 abuse.
L-1 is not a general work visa. It is only for intracompany transfers for specialized roles.
• L-1A / L-1B (the worker): L-1A is for true managers and executives who direct people or an essential function—not “team leads” who mainly do the work themselves. L-1B is for specialized knowledge: special or advanced knowledge of that company’s products, processes, or systems that is not ordinary industry skill. Generic coding, support, QA, or “any open role” does not qualify. Brand-new graduates (“freshers”) almost never do: they lack the required year of qualifying foreign employment and company-specific specialized knowledge.
• L-2 (family): Spouse and unmarried children under 21 of a valid L-1 holder. The spouse can work for any U.S. employer (I-94 coded L-2S). Children cannot work. L-2 status dies if the L-1 status ends.
If a company is parking entry-level or ordinary mid-career staff on L-1/L-2 into ordinary U.S. roles that any similarly skilled worker could do, that is not how the category is written. If you see it, reporting suspected abuse is a lawful public tip.
It can be fully anonymous. Official forms say the more specifics you give, the more useful the tip is.
File here (pick one or both):
• USCIS immigration-benefit fraud/abuse tip form: https://www.uscis.gov/report-fraud/uscis-tip-form
• ICE Homeland Security Investigations tip form: https://www.ice.gov/webform/ice-tip-form
• Phone (U.S./Canada): 1-866-347-2423
• State Department visa-fraud portal: https://travel.state.gov/reportvisafraud
What to put in the form (this is the easy part):
Describe the case in plain language. Include whatever you actually know:
• Company legal name and the plant / office / client site address
• Names and job titles of the people brought in (and managers who arranged it, if known)
• Visa type if you know it (L-1A, L-1B, L-2)
• Why it looks non-qualifying: fresher / recent grad, generic mid-level role, no specialized company knowledge, staffed into “any seat,” etc.
• Dates, headcount if obvious, and any documents or public listings you can safely describe
You do not have to give your name. Do not invent facts. False reports can create legal problems for the reporter; accurate, detailed suspected-fraud tips are what the agencies ask for.
Official sources on eligibility: USCIS L-1 policy (specialized knowledge and managers/executives) and USCIS L-2 dependent rules. Official tip guidance tells filers to include names, addresses, dates of birth, and worksite details when known
