 - Wants to hear hear from people who want to be named plaintiffs or complainants in administrative complaints about H-1B abuses in several possible venues: (1) H-1B cert violation with DOL. (2) Citizenship/nationality/age discrimination against US citizens with DOJ Special Counsel. (3) Declaratory relief and injunctions in federal court.
