Three senior officers and 24 junior officers have been asked to stop work temporarily to pave the way for further investigations.
The authorities say the conduct of the employees has brought the immigration service into disrepute and any of the officers found culpable after the probe will be prosecuted.
None of the suspended employees have publicly responded to the allegations.
Last year, the immigration service warned the public against falling prey to fake social media recruitment accounts set up to extort money from gullible individuals, indicating that it was not part of their procedures for hiring employees.
