Green Card Revocation Practices Called into Question
According to USCIS, under current immigration law, foreign workers are not granted notification of adverse actions taken against them, nor are they granted appeals rights. USCIS reasons that these rights lie with the employers of foreign workers because of the I-140 visa program.
However, Srinivasa Musunuru argues otherwise. Musunuru, an immigrant from India, recently lost his spot in the green card line after his former employer was found to have committed visa fraud. He believes that he should have been notified by the government and that he deserves the right to appeal the decision, especially because he hasn’t done anything wrong. The actions taken against him are purely the result of someone else’s mistake.
Musunuru and his lawyers have appealed the decision to the Seventh Circuit and ask that the current policy be reviewed.
