A group of seven American businesses<\/strong> Monday declared to have dropped an H-1B lawsuit<\/strong> against the US Citizenship and Immigration Services after the federal agency<\/strong> agreed to accept and adjudicate previous decisions on foreign work visas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March, the American Immigration Council<\/strong>, on behalf of the seven businesses, had filed a suit, challenging USCIS’s arbitrary rejection of H-1B petitions<\/strong> filed after October 1 solely because the H-1B workers’ intended employment start date fell after 1st October.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The claim asserted that based on this timeline, USCIS<\/strong> created a ridiculous decision. Also, foreign workers<\/strong> expected to begin on October 1 (and not a day later) or the US employer <\/strong>had to misrepresent the intended employment start date by \u201cback-dating\u201d the petition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cArbitrary rejections confine business immigration <\/strong>in the US. Moreover, the goal of this case exhibits the importance of litigating <\/strong>to challenge unlawful agency actions and advance a fair process for employment-based immigration<\/strong>,\u201d said Leslie Dellon, senior lawyer (business immigration) at the American Immigration Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filed in the federal district court<\/strong> for the district of Massachusetts. Moreover, H-1B Lawsuit <\/strong>had called for halting USCIS’s arbitrary and capricious refusal. To accept timely and properly filed H-1B petitions<\/strong>. Which are subject to the annual statutory cap on H-1B visa numbers <\/strong>allocated each year, a media release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We excused the claim because USCIS <\/strong>promptly corrected its error. All of our customers’ applications <\/strong>have now been accepted by the USCIS. It is unfortunate that legal action <\/strong>was required. However, we thank the USCIS for making the best choice”. Said Mintz members<\/strong> and co-counsel for the plaintiffs Douglas Hauer and Laurence A Schoen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
