"A lawsuit has been filed in a US court against the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) alleging that the agency unlawfully charged US tech companies a total of $350 million for a change of status application to H-1B visas. The plaintiffs – ITServe Alliance, iTech US, Smart Works and Saxon Global – have sought that the court must stop USCIS from continuing to charge this fee and refund all payments of these fees for the past six years. ...
