Yes, it is true. How legal is it? Some agencies do it right and are
legal but others do it wrong and illegally, and others do it
deliberately wrong to deceive the INS and are very illegal. The trouble
in these instances is that you are the one who faces the music if the
BCIS / CBP discover a problem.
For example, an H1B cannot be benched ... (not employed, on the books,
not paid, not performing the duties for which they were hired) ... This
is the normal mode of operation for most temp agencies.
If you choose to go this route, be *very* careful.
