A lawsuit has been filed against the State Department alleging it unfairly denied 22,000 would-be legal immigrants the right to permanent residency in the United States, their lawyers said Monday.
White and Associates said it filed the lawsuit in the District Court for the District of Colombia charging the State Department committed a “blunder” in holding a lottery granting them the permanent resident “green card.”
In a statement, the firm alleged that the State Department had informed the lottery “winners” that in fact they had to be disqualified because a “computer glitch” meant they had not been randomly selected, as required by Congress.
