In October 2014, plaintiff Michael Reynaud, 41, a British citizen who worked for Technicolor Creative Services USA Inc., in Los Angeles, was offered to be sponsored for a green card. Although he was able to work in the United States with an H-1B visa, which allows U.S. employers to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations, Technicolor offered to sponsor him for a green card. Reynaud married his current wife, plaintiff Fiona Reynaud, in April 2015. He claimed that he and his wife relied on Technicolor and the law firm of Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C. to obtain green cards for them. However, in March 2016, Technicolor informed Mr. Reynaud that his visa would expire in two months and that he and his family would have to leave the country. The Reynauds sued Technicolor and Ogletree Deakins. Technicolor brought a separate action against Ogletree Deakins, and the matters were consolidated. Ogletree Deakins ultimately settled out of the case. The Reynauds claimed that Technicolor was negligent in initiating and pursuing the green card process for them and that its negligence resulted in Mr. Reynaud not getting his H-1B visa renewed. The plaintiffs’ immigration expert testified about the green card process and opined that Technicolor mishandled the process for the Reynauds. Technicolor claimed Mr. Reynaud failed to provide information to assist in the process. However, Mr. Reynaud responded that he did everything necessary to assist the company and the law firm, including filling out the necessary forms and signing the appropriate documents to obtain the green cards., Mr. Reynaud obtained a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Southern California and began working for Technicolor in 2007. However, he and his family were forced to move back to England in 2016, where they currently remain. Mr. Reynaud testified that he and his family, which included their two young children, had to sell their condominium in England and live for a time with his parents due to losing the job that paid him $145,000 annually. Mr. Reynaud and his wife claimed that if they had obtained their green cards, they could have stayed in Los Angeles, where they preferred to live and where Mr. Reynaud said he had many more job prospects. Mr. Reynaud sought recovery of past and future lost earnings and benefits, and both he and his wife sought recovery of damages for their respective past and future pain and suffering as a result of their alleged emotional distress.
