There is a big industry to generate Fake resumes, Experience letters and fake offer letter to sponsor them for H1B Visa application. They charge like $5000 and since this companies have less than 50 ppl, They have to pay far lesser money compared to outsourcing Companies who play by rules.
Once Visa goes through the Lottery, this folks have a fake offer letter given by this consultancies and once they reach US, Person who got H1 can transfer visa to a different company or work as a contractor via consultancy which sponsored this H1.
In return they usually pay them 20% of their wages and its an agreement done before reaching US. Its a big industry out there. They give very specific software training and visa interview trainings.
Outsourcing companies don't really apply for large number of Visa as depicted in media. Most of the H1 Visa goes to lesser known companies or Fake consultancies which generate fake offer letter to get Visa stamped. Nearly 50% of H1 Visa goes to such companies mostly from India, China, Filipinos, Vietnamese.
She is just a pond aka fall guy I'm sure it's a network of these perpetrators. Bigger fish!

I believe the post is to open up America's eyes to show the people the corruption India has been bringing to the states for almost two decades now.

Lock her for 10 years, then send her back to the slums of Mumbai.
