Fact Check<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, we checked in mainstream media, whether\u00a0the\u00a0US government had announced to recruit 450,000 foreign workers to the USA, for the year 2022. We were not able to find any such media reports. We couldn\u2019t find any such official notice on \u00a0US Embassy in Colombo <\/a> media releases either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, we were able to find a media report on CNBC which said that the US employers added around 450,000 jobs to US job market in 2022 January. Yet, among those 450,000 jobs there were only 23,000 government jobs. Interestingly, those jobs were not specified for migrant or foreign workers, as the viral social media posts had claimed. The related article can be read from here<\/a> | Archived<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeking a clarification from the US Embassy in Colombo we contacted an US Embassy officer, who confirmed confirmed that the social media posts were false and misleading, and that the US Embassy in Sri Lanka or the government of the USA had not made any such announcements. She added that, while there would be some vacancies in US industries etc. and even in the government sector, the claims are totally misleading, and that the US government has not initiated any official scheme to awards 450,000 foreigners the opportunities to work in the USA in 2022, under a scheme called \u201cGovernment of United States recruitment campaign 2022 with instant work permits<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the US government also has also issued warnings to protect from immigration frauds and they urge the public to avoid being victims to such fraudulent scams and encourage to report them to the US government officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
