This action follows an investigation conducted in coordination with the White House Fraud Task Force into alleged fraud in employment visa programs. Inspector General Anthony Sonderosito stated the move is a step in a broader campaign to ensure compliance. Cognizant, an IT services firm founded in Chennai, is currently headquartered in Teck, New Jersey. The suspension will remain in effect until the department completes its investigation.
