Businesses Dismiss Lawsuit After USCIS Agrees to Accept and Adjudicate Previously Rejected H-1B Petitions |
|
| Yesterday, seven U.S. businesses dismissed their lawsuit against USCIS after the agency agreed to accept and adjudicate H-1B nonimmigrant employment-based petitions that it had previously rejected. The American Immigration Council and partners filed the lawsuit on behalf of the businesses to challenge USCIS’s arbitrary rejection of H-1B petitions filed after October 1, 2020, solely because the H-1B worker’s intended employment start date was after October 1, 2020. According to Leslie K. Dellon, Senior Attorney on Business Immigration at the Council, “The resolution of this case showcases the importance of litigating to challenge unlawful agency actions and advance a fair process for employment-based immigration.” | |
