The bill would increase penalties for certain serious violations of the H-1B visa program. It would raise specified fines from $5,000 to $100,000 and from $35,000 to $250,000, and extend certain periods of program ineligibility from two years to five years and from three years to 10 years. It would also raise fines for document fraud: one range would increase from $250–$2,000 to $1,000–$10,000, and another from $2,000–$5,000 to $20,000–$50,000.
Employers found responsible for the covered H-1B violations could face higher fines and longer periods of ineligibility. People or entities subject to the covered document-fraud penalties could face higher fines.
