Audit by the Department of Labor
In June 2008, the U.S. Department of Labor announced it would audit all permanent labor certifications filed by Fragomen, Del Rey alleging "improper attorney involvement" in the consideration of U.S. worker applicants. In August 2008, Fragomen filed a lawsuit seeking an injunction against the U.S. Department of Labor. Fragomen categorically denied the allegations and asserted the Department's actions were unlawful and an unconstitutional denial of their clients' right to counsel. Soon thereafter, in September 2008, the Department terminated its special audit. In November 2008, the Department and Fragomen filed a Joint Settlement Stipulation and Order and case dismissal. The settlement included the Department's cancellation of all special audits of pending PERM cases, and the immediate return of all cases to the normal processing queue.
