Many employers listing the same registered agent is the pattern we call Ghost Office, a shell-company signal. Agent-sharing alone is common (filing services serve thousands of unrelated companies), so we look for corroborating evidence before drawing conclusions. This page checks one such signal automatically: whether these employers’ own H-1B filings come from the same street address. Sourced from state Secretary of State corporate registries and DOL LCA filings.
