I live in texas.
I have a friend who is an international student, (who was able to work for one year because of Optional practical training) and his employer hired him with a low salary but told him that he would help him get a work visa. Well he worked for 9 months and after doing half the paperwork for it after 9 months, he said he couldnt go forward because my job position did not qualify for sponsorship, according to his company's legal department.
After he found this out he was fired immediately.
The employer proceeded to tell him that he never promised sponsorship. And that the person should not "**** with him." He also said he "convinced" the legal department that the person was not trying to hide anything from the firm.
I am of the belief that, the legal department was never, informed, asked or notified of anyone needing a work visa.
Now that he is unemployed he cannot be sponsored because the window for that has been closed.
Does he have a case against his employer? On the grounds that he was hired under wrong pretences and the employer did not observe due diligence in seeking the facts when hiring him?
