Finding Your Way Out of FINDREAM and SINOCONTECH FRAUD Allegations
During 2021, our office represented a client to overcome allegations of misrepresentation and fraud pertaining to the client’s association with FINDREAM, LLC (“FINDREAM”). As an F1 visa holder, a foreign student is permitted to study in the United States. F1 visa holders are eligible to extend the visa by “OPT”, participating in a program that requires students to obtain temporary employment.
Unbeknownst to F1 international students, FINDREAM founder Weiyun “Kelly” Huang and the corporations she founded was convicted of conspiracy to commit visa fraud in 2020. Huang used elaborate means to entice students to pay for her services in exchange for obtaining temporary employment to fulfill the requirements of OPT. FINDREAM falsely promised to provide training services, networking opportunities, and internships perceived to be legitimate employment opportunities. Many F1 students fell victim to the fraud perpetrated by Huang and her accomplices. After convictions of the perpetrators were rendered, USCIS has relentlessly pursued the student victims of fraud as “knowing co-conspirators.”
During our client’s I-485 adjustment of status proceeding, client was subjected to several interrogations by USCIS investigating FINDREAM fraud. Without legal representation, Client was in USCIS custody, faced with possible criminal conviction and an ultimate denial of client’s immigration petition.
Attorney Nguyen D. Luu and our legal team took on representation to assist our client to overcome the misrepresentation allegations and navigated client to rebut the willful misrepresentation and fraud allegations from USCIS. The evidence presented sufficiently supported a finding that the client did not make false representations to procure a benefit under U.S. immigration laws. In the event there was a false statement made, it was not willfully made and not material, thereby overcoming all allegations.
A finding of misrepresentation or fraud has severe immigration consequences. It would render a non-citizen inadmissible for life, possibly a permanent bar, and unable to obtain permanent residency until the inadmissibility is waived at the discretion of USCIS. Our firm is very pleased to learn that USCIS has approved our client's I-485 application and a green card is being produced. The USCIS adjudicating officer even personally called and spoke to attorney Nguyen D. Luu to inform the attorney of her decision. We are pleased to learn that a Notice of Intent to Deny could have been issued but for our office's supplemental legal memo to address the potential inadmissibility, USCIS never issued the NOID.
