An H-1B Audit is conducted by the Wage and Hour Division of the US Department of Labor (DOL) to find out whether an H-1B employer is in compliance with the existing H-1B laws and regulations. The Labor or H-1B Audit could arise from many sources, including but not limited to Employee Complaint, US Embassy Referral, or Random Audit.
When violations are found, the Administrator of the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division may assess civil money penalties with maximums ranging from $1,000 to $35,000 per violation, depending on the type and severity of the violation. The Administrator may also impose other remedies, including payment of back wages to employees.

An H-1B audit is a review conducted by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to ensure compliance with the regulations of the H-1B visa program. During an audit, USCIS may request additional documentation and evidence related to the employer's H-1B petition, including information about the job position, the wage offered, and the qualifications of the H-1B employee. The purpose of the audit is to confirm that the employer and employee meet all the requirements of the H-1B program.
