Former Meta Manager Sues Company Over Green Card Petition Dispute
A former Meta manager, James Tillinghast, has sued Meta Platforms alleging wrongful termination after he refused to sign a reference letter supporting an employee's US green card petition, citing inaccuracies in the claims. The lawsuit, filed in New Jersey, seeks over $1 million in damages and accuses Meta of retaliation. Central to the case is an I-140 petition for an EB-2 National Interest Waiver for employee Shenxun Wang, with disputes over the accuracy of revenue and role descriptions in the reference letter. The allegations remain unproven in court.
