GoKawiilUS Labor Department probes nine universities over J-1 postdoc visas
The US Department of Labor is investigating nine universities—including Harvard, Stanford, Yale, MIT, Caltech, Arizona State, Brown, UC Davis and the University of Pittsburgh—over their use of J-1 visas for international postdoctoral researchers. Vice-President JD Vance announced the probe on October 8, saying it aims to curb visa fraud and prevent universities from using international researchers to undercut wages for American graduate students and researchers. Several universities confirmed receiving subpoenas and said they comply with visa regulations.
