For over 25 years, many Koreans who wished to immigrate to the US would do so through the Hyundai Emmigration Development Corp., an immigration services company based in Seoul. The company had a relationship with Perdue Farms, Inc., the third largest poultry producer in the US, under which Perdue would use the Korean company to advertise positions in its processing plants. Perdue recently ended this arrangement after learning that the Korean firm was requiring applicants to agree to work for Perdue for at least one year, and to guarantee this promise with a 00 deposit that would be returned only after the one year of work was completed. Perdue says that while it found no unlawful activity connected to the program, it was terminating the program because it was uncomfortable with the deposit requirement. Another reason Perdue stopped the program is because the Korean company would, for an additional fee sometimes as high as ,000 allow substitution of applicants. This would allow a person to “jump ahead” of someone who had already applied for the position.
