Suit Challenging Employer-Employee/Third-Party Placement Memo

On June 25, 2010, the government filed a Memorandum in Opposition to Motion for Preliminary Injunction in Broadgate, Inc.,et al v. USCIS, a case challenging the January 8, 2010, employer-employee/third-party placement memo.

This Application for Preliminary Injunction and Complaint filed on June 8, 2010 by Greenberg Traurig LLP in the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia, challenges USCIS’s application of the January 8, 2010, Neufeld Memorandum’s definition of employer-employee relationships, resulting in the denial of H-1Bs filed by IT staffing firms. Judge Gladys Kessler will be hearing the case.
