Former US Congresswoman and ex-ally of President Donald Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene, has alleged what she termed “serious H-1B visa fraud” in the US state of Texas, amplifying unverified claims made by a social media influencer regarding large-scale approval of work visas.
Greene, who resigned from the US Congress earlier this month, shared a video online in which the influencer alleged that hundreds of thousands of H-1B visa applications were approved in North Texas during 2025. The claims have not been independently confirmed by US authorities or mainstream American media outlets.
In her social media post, Greene wrote, “North Texas seems to have a serious H-1B Visa fraud scam going. One immigration attorney brought in over 700,000 H-1Bs in 2025 alone.” She reiterated her opposition to the H-1B visa programme, arguing that Republicans should support her proposed legislation, HR 6937, which seeks to eliminate the visa category altogether.
Allegations Against Dallas-Based Immigration Lawyer
The video referenced by Greene names a Dallas-based immigration attorney, Chand Parvathaneni, alleging that the lawyer facilitated an unusually high number of H-1B visa approvals. According to the influencer, approximately 400,000 applications were approved by 2024, with the figure allegedly rising to 700,000 approvals in Texas in 2025.
The influencer further claimed that some visa-linked businesses were registered at residential addresses housing dozens of H-1B applicants. However, no official data or court records were cited, and there is no public evidence supporting the scale or legality of these claims.
The video also alleged that similar activity was occurring across multiple North Texas cities, including Irving, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Prosper, and Las Colinas. These assertions remain unverified.
Claims on Demographic Change Draw Criticism
The influencer additionally made controversial remarks about demographic changes in North Texas, claiming—without evidence—that the region has been “overtaken” by Muslims and Indians. She referenced the presence of mosques in the area and suggested, again without substantiation, that fraudulent businesses were receiving government funding sourced from taxpayer money.
These statements have drawn criticism online for their generalised and inflammatory tone, particularly as they conflate immigration policy concerns with religious and ethnic identity. Greene did not provide independent data or official findings to support the allegations shared in the video.
No Official Confirmation
At present, US immigration authorities, including the Department of Homeland Security and US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), have not issued any statement confirming large-scale H-1B fraud in Texas linked to the claims made in the video.
The H-1B visa programme allows US employers to hire foreign workers in specialised occupations and is subject to annual caps, audits, and compliance checks.
