A Santa Clara man pleaded guilty this week to fraud for illegally obtaining H-1B visas to use for his company that provides workers for Bay Area technology firms.

Kishore Dattapuram, 55, entered his guilty plea Monday in U.S. District Court in San Jose. Along with two other men, Santosh Giri of San Jose, and Kumar Aswapathi, of Austin, Texas, Dattapuram was charged in 2019 with 10 counts of visa fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit visa fraud.  Aswapathi, 55, pleaded guilty to all counts in 2020, and Giri, 48, pleaded guilty to all counts last month. The men face prison and fines.
