MONTAGNE: Infosys, the Indian high-tech outsourcing company, will be paying around $35 million in a visa fraud case. Federal prosecutors say the company knowingly brought temporary Indian workers to the U.S. on visitor visas - visiting for business - in order to avoid the cost of the actual work visas they should have used.

According to The New York Times, it's the largest-ever settlement in a U.S. visa case. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
