How H1BShield Works

H1BShield utilizes publicly available data from H1B visa petitions to provide insights and protect users from potential scams. Here's how it works:

1. Data Collection: We gather data from the Department of Labor's disclosure data for H1B visa petitions for the year 2024.
2. Data Processing: The raw data is cleaned, processed, and stored in a database for efficient searching and analysis.
3. Company Search: Users can search for companies by name. Our system uses fuzzy matching to find the closest matches, even with minor spelling variations.
4. Scam Reporting: Users can report companies suspected of fraudulent activity. These reports are stored and displayed alongside company information.
5. Information Display: Search results display company details, application counts, and scam reports. This helps users make informed decisions about potential employers.

H1BShield is designed to empower individuals with the information they need to navigate the H1B visa process safely and confidently.
