A lawsuit has been filed against Donald Trump’s administration, questioning the proclamation that prevents H-1B and H4 visa holders from flying to the US. The complaint was recorded by immigration law firm Wasden Banias on behalf of 174 Indian nationals that also includes seven minors who have been affected by this ban.
The lawsuit was registered in the US District Court on 14 th July following the Trump’s announcement of suspension of H-1B working visas, owing to increasing unemployment rate in US.
“The proclamation 10052’s H-1B/H-4 visa ban hurts the United States’ economy, separates families and defies the Congress. While the two former points render it unseemly, the latter point renders it unlawful,” stated the lawsuit filed by lawyer Wasden Banias on account of the 174 Indian nationals.
The lawsuit sought an answer claiming the presidential proclamation prohibition on issuing new H-1B or H4 visas was absolutely unlawful. It compelled the court’s Judge to issue a new order.
As per the reports, the affected litigants flew to their native when embassy closures were announced in the wake of Covid19 pandemic. Subsequent to the imposing of travel ban, the working Indians are facing a major issue as they could not travel back to US.
