Country's leading immigration law firm, FRAGOMEN, DEL REY, BERNSEN & LOEWY LLLP has a record of filing more than 6,500 permanent labor certification applications last year. DOL had publicly announced that the lawyers from the law firm had exceeded their role in representing their clients (employers) in the process of navigating the labor certification applications under PERM. As a result, all labor certification filings of the Firm had been subjected to special audits by the Department of Labor (DOL). On August 8, 2008, the Fragomen law firm filed a complaint against the DOL in District Court in Washington, DC. This case is believed to be a decisive one on various issues critical to both the US employers who wish to hire foreign nationals and immigration attorneys who represent US employers.
