Investigation into H-1B Fraud Triggers Company Shutdown

BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales’ recent investigation into alleged H-1B fraud in Texas has reportedly left an accused Indian sponsor so unsettled that he decided to close down his business, as stated by a former employee.

Great America Technologies Inc. describes itself on its website as a “Global Management Consulting, Technology Services and Business Process Outsourcing Company” with headquarters in Plano, Texas.

State records indicate that this company, which is still allowed to conduct business in Texas, was established in April 2017. During the pandemic, it also secured two Paycheck Protection Program loans that were later forgiven.

Data from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ H-1B Employer Datahub reveals that the company has had 33 H-1B beneficiaries approved, with three approvals recorded for 2026.

This year, Gonzales tried to visit the company’s headquarters but found out that the address listed on the website belongs to a different enterprise.

Gonzales also mentioned that the company was originally registered with officers from Andhra Pradesh, India. They reportedly relocated to Razor Boulevard in 2019, and by 2024, the original owners were replaced, designating Nagarjuna Reddy Sakam as the new shareholder and director.

When Gonzales approached Sakam, he dismissed claims about the number of H-1B workers he allegedly employed, questioning her motives with harsh language and labeling her inquiries as nonsense.

However, Gonzales continued her investigation and discovered that Sakam had allegedly neglected to pay at least one of his H-1B employees their salary.

Great America Technologies has not yet responded to inquiries from Blaze News.

A former employee who arrived in the U.S. on an H-1B visa accused the company of not only delaying payments but also asserting that he should cover various USCIS and attorney fees, collecting considerable sums for those costs.

It’s worth noting that it’s illegal for an employer to charge employees for visa sponsorship or to recover USCIS and legal fees by deducting from an employee’s pay.

This former employee stated that he was told he would be reimbursed after a predetermined time of employment.

“They are taking advantage of employees, really sucking the life out of them,” he shared with Gonzales.

This employee also claimed that Sakam became so anxious following Gonzales’ inquiries that he began to withdraw from the business.

He even allegedly convened a few employees at his home, instructing them to “leave the company in the next couple of days. I’m shutting this down.”

“If he’s innocent, why make that choice?” the former employee mused.

Additionally, he claimed that Sakam revoked his H-1B visa and threatened to report him to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Gonzales and her team later discovered that the five-bedroom home where Sakam reportedly resided is currently listed for sale online.
