In fact, why would DCM have to apply for hundreds if not thousands of H1-B workers for its sales offices? They are headquartered in India and the development is performed both there and in Texas. As some development is reportedly performed in Austin, it might make sense if they filed applications for that location. BUT, they've filed applications for ALL of their locations which are simply "sales" offices...

Exactly. The difference here is I think the F'up is in the data (either the raw data your site is using or in how their mushing the data for their website). With what little I know of H1b process having worked for a company with offices in other countries and H1B employees here's my guess:
DCM wanted to transfer some people from India to America
For whatever reason that filing either was done for or was counted against all their American sites
So the 30 we see in all the line items would be the actual number of H1Bs, as for where they actually are it's anybody's guess

What I don't know about the H1B processing is how/ why it would count against all the cities. That could be anything from the right way to file if you're not sure where the people are actually going to go, to the guys running the site counting the filing against every city the company is in, with a layover in that's just how the INS does things (the fact that it appears 3 times in Tucson kind of leans me away from it being DCM's fault though). Regardless what we're getting is a grossly innacurate picture that heavily inflates the H1B problem.
