Litigation of DHS Action Involving Arrest of H-1B Alien Pending Extension Petition in "Hot" Boiling Litigation

This litigation has a very profound impact on all the H-1B foreign workers in ths country. The lawsuit involves DHS arresting a H-1B foreign worker who had timely filed H-1B extension petition but because of the USCIS delays in the adjudication of the petition, the alien's I-94 expired and continued employment pending the H-1B extension petition. Reportedly, the DHS agemt arrested the H-1B worker on out-of-status ground and attempted to deport the alien. For other details, please read the release by the Legal Action Center of American Immigration Center.
