Broad H-1B Investigation Can’t Be Based on Single Complaint

A company that provides physical and occupational therapists to hospitals and nursing homes won relief from a federal appeals court Dec. 14 from damages assessed for its alleged violation of the H-1B highly skilled guestworker program (Greater Mo. Med. Pro-Care Providers, Inc. v. Perez, 2015 BL 408267, 8th Cir., 14-3717, 12/14/15).

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit reversed a district court decision that had upheld a Department of Labor Administrative Review Board order finding that Greater Missouri Medical Pro-Care Providers Inc. violated several provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act’s H-1B provisions 23 HLR 1445, 11/6/14, 209 DLR A-4, 10/29/14, 2014 LRM, 11/19/14, 8 WIR 730, 11/10/14
