An Indian employee named Rishikesh Raj has filed a lawsuit in a US federal court against Indian-American businessman Sai Jitendra Kalagra and his Texas-based company. The lawsuit alleges that the employer demanded $100,000 to maintain H-1B visa validity and green card processing. Raj claims he was threatened with deportation and reporting to ICE if he refused to pay. He was allegedly forced to pay $8,800 in cash and is now seeking over $97,000 in compensation for forced labor, human trafficking, and unpaid wages. https://sambad.in/india-and-beyond/indian-employee-h1b-visa-extortion-lawsuit-texas-company-us-12048270 #creator program
