According to this blog (Carrie’s Nation), (and the Job Destruction newsletter) job ads on Dice, Monster, and in print have been directing people to mail their resumes to 700 N. Pearl, Suite 510, Dallas, TX. This is the address of one of the DOL’s backlog centers to process H1B visa applications.
In the Carrie’s Nation blog post, she lays out the scam pretty well:
I’m begging someone to correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m forming my own opinion on what’s happening based on all of these links that I’ve read. It appears that the Department of Labor, through its Team Exceed contractor, is working hand-in-hand with employers to post phony job ads in order to fulfill the job advertisement requirements for purposes of helping foreign workers obtain their Green Cards for permanent resident status.
Oh yeah, and this is all legal. It’s another loophole lawyers are exploiting.
