Sedighi v. Schnackel Engineers

Summary

The court held that Schnackel Engineers remained financially responsible for the $3,000 attorney fee associated with preparing and filing Sedighi's permanent labor certification application. The employment provision requiring Sedighi to pursue a green card at his own cost did not limit him to a self-sponsored route, and competent evidence showed that Schnackel actively participated in the PERM process and authorized the attorney to file on its behalf. The court therefore reversed the district court and directed reinstatement of the small claims judgment.
