An Indian software engineer’s failure to convince a federal judge that his H-1B visa was wrongly revoked could wind up helping other, similar challenges.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services properly revoked Venkata Parcha’s H-1B specialty occupation visa in light of fraud perpetrated by his former employer, Judge Sean D. Jordan of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas ruled.
But the case will help pave the way for more H-1B revocation lawsuits, Bradley Banias of Wasden Banias in Mount Pleasant, S.C., said. By finding that courts have authority to review the USCIS’ revocation decisions, Jordan eliminated one of the main arguments the agency typically uses when faced with such cases, he said.
