INS Retracts Information on H-1B Usage by Top 20 Firms

Since June 1999, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) has specified to the public, upon request, the top 20 companies that had H-1B petitions filed and approved in FY 1998. Unfortunately, this information is not accurate and should be disregarded. INS apologizes for this error and is working to resolve data reporting issues in the H-1B program for future data requests.
