The American Immigration Law Foundation (AILF) is considering filing a class-action lawsuit against the Department of Labor on behalf of those who were adversely affected by the PERM Fraud Rule (also known as “Substitution Plus”) that came into effect on July 16, 2007. The new rule: places restrictions on who can pay legal and other fees related to the labor certification process, prohibits the substitution of aliens, and sets an expiration date on approved labor certs.
So far, AILF reports that there has been insufficient interest from potential plaintiffs to proceed with the suit. If you are an alien or employer and would like to participate in this potential lawsuit, please contact AILF at www.ailf.org to obtain the potential plaintiff questionnaire.
