Summary:The 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed summary judgment for the government and an order barring a temporary agency for one year from receiving H-1B visas for the foreign professionals it placed with its clients. The US Department of Labor determined that the temporary agency had failed 14 times to inquire of its customer -- and to certify -- that placement of a foreign worker would not displace a US citizen. The 3rd Circuit decided that the government delay did not lead to uncertainty on the part of the temporary agency about its obligation to inquire about its customers.
