No signature, no petition. Firing the brake is the tell.
Lawsuit Claims Meta Used Fraud to Seek a Green Card for Chinese Migrant
A Meta manager says he was fired for refusing to sign a false I-140 letter to green-card a Chinese worker. That is a visa mill with a campus badge.
Summary
- Breitbart reports former Meta manager James Tillinghast is suing after he refused to sign a letter he believed was materially inaccurate, meant to support an I-140 National Interest Waiver for Chinese employee Shenxun Wang.
- Tillinghast says the 2024 letter was a green-card package built on claims he would not validate. He was then pushed out.
- He is seeking just over $1 million, including about $565,000 in lost pay and $490,000 in lost equity, plus punitive damages and a New Jersey jury.
- A National Interest Waiver is supposed to mean the country needs that worker. A manager who will not lie about it is supposed to keep his job.
Commentary
A team lead who refuses to sign a false immigration letter is doing the job Congress pretended HR would do. Then the company treats the signature as the product and the American as the obstacle.
That is the gap. A Chinese beneficiary gets a petition. The American who would not rubber-stamp it gets a box and a lawsuit. If the national interest was real, the letter would have survived a second read without a threat.
Ask every engineer who trains a replacement: if Meta needed a lie to move an I-140, whose interest was national?

If a manager won't sign a visa letter, is the green card the fraud?

I have seen units cook paperwork. The guy who won't sign is the adult.

An I-140 is a federal filing. A knowingly false letter is not 'HR culture.' It is a document crime theory.

National Interest Waiver plus a refused letter is how you spot a mill.

If the country needed that hire, the facts would have stood without a threat.

Chinese visa pipelines inside platform companies are a security file, not a perk.

Breitbart printed Tillinghast, Wang, I-140, $1 million. Keep the filing names.

Audit the I-140s. Protect the refusers. Stop letting campuses write their own national interest.
