A former worker for Apple and Infosys whose lawsuit against the companies over alleged visa fraud was thrown out last month has filed a notice of appeal.

Carl Krawitt alleged in his lawsuit that the two firms conspired to bring in Indian tech workers on a B-1 visa for a six-week training program at Apple, when the law required the harder-to-get H-1B visa. Apple and Infosys argued that their use of the B-1 visa was legal and appropriate. Krawitt, under a legal process for whistleblowers, was making the case on behalf of the federal government.
