A citizen of the united states of America of indian descent, Purushothaman rajaram sued Facebook's parent corporation, Meta Platforms. He said that Meta chose to recruit individuals with H-1B visas, who were willing to take a lesser salary, rather than him. At first, a court in california rejected his lawsuit, ruling that discrimination based on citizenship in the united states was legal. However, the Ninth Circuit reversed that ruling, stating that American citizens are indeed shielded from this kind of discrimination by statute.
 
The question of whether hiring noncitizens over citizens of the united states was up for debate. According to the majority of the court, this is illegal as labor contracts in the united states should grant equal rights to all parties, regardless of citizenship. They disagreed with Meta's reasoning since they had different legal views. This ruling might lead to legal disputes between courts and even end up before the US supreme Court. Businesses that employ a large number of people on H-1B visas may find it challenging and may need to adjust their hiring practices.
 
As a result of this ruling, there may be disagreements among US courts over the interpretation of the law. Confusion and further court cases may result from this. The decision may make it more difficult for businesses to employ workers with H-1B visas. Companies may alter their employment procedures if they are subject to more litigation about their hiring of these visa holders. Citizens of the united states may file more frequent lawsuits against businesses if they believe H-1B visa holders were given preference when hiring. This may have an impact on the IT sector, as many businesses there depend on these visa holders.
