Indian programmers detained in raid over alleged visa scheme
Sabbani and his wife Rajshree Row, five months pregnant, are among 38 Indian nationals arrested at the Air Force Center in Houston and San Antonio in a case labeled body shopping. Immigation officials allege Frontier Consulting Incl and Softtech Consulting Inc moved workers under false pretenses. 27 were released on bond, others on recognizance while awaiting court hearings that could lead to deportation. The couple, employed as computer programmers, express shock and desire to resume work, facing mounting bills and an uncertain future.
