In September 2025, the USCIS Field Office in Santa Ana, California reversed its prior denial and approved our client’s Form N-400 application for naturalization in just ONE day. Our client has been scheduled for naturalization ceremony. Our client’s original denial was based on allegations that our client was barred from Naturalization due to past enrollment with the fraudulent schools Neo-America Language School (“Neo”) and Walter Jay MD Institute (“WJI.”) between 2012 and 2014. USCIS also alleged that our client gave false testimony during the Naturalization process, citing minor inconsistencies in their recollection of events that occurred more than a decade ago. Attorney Nguyen D. Luu and our legal team assisted the client in filing their Form N-336, Request for a Hearing on a Decision in Naturalization Proceedings. We submitted a detailed legal memorandum, supporting evidence, and prepared our client well before their N-336 hearing. We also raised the arguments that any discrepancies in our client’s testimony were due solely to the passage of time and did not rise to the level of false testimony under INA § 101(f)(6). Our client had no knowledge of the institutions’ fraudulent activities and reasonably relied on their SEVP certification, which indicated federal compliance at the time of their enrollment. At the hearing, the reviewing USCIS officer interviewed our client extensively, but our client was well prepared and was able to respond to the officer’s questions.  We are pleased to learn that just ONE day after our client’s N-336 hearing, USCIS reversed its previous N-400 denial, and scheduled our client for a naturalization ceremony.

In January 2025, U.S. Department of State approved our client’s application for nonimmigrant waiver and request for expedited visa processing based on humanitarian concerns. Our client returned to the U.S. just a few weeks after their visa interview. Our client was found to be inadmissible due to an unfortunate experience with a company called Integra Technologies LLC. (“Integra”). During our client’s participation in the OPT program in 2017, our client accepted a remote, unpaid internship. In 2023, after living in the U.S. for nearly eight years, first as an F-1 student and then as an H-1B skilled worker, our client was informed that they must attend a visa interview at the U.S. Consulate in India in order to complete their application to transfer to a new employer. At the visa interview on mid-2023, our client was informed for the first time that their F-1 visa had been revoked in 2020 based on their previous employment with the company Integra. Importantly, the U.S. government did not uncover the fraudulent nature of the company until 2018; several years after our client had already left the company.  The denial left our client stranded in India and barred them from rejoining their spouse, in the U.S. Our client also lost their job as a result of the Consulate’s visa denial. In order to be reunited with their spouse, our client applied for multiple visa appointments without success. When our client reached out to our office, attorney Nguyen D. Luu and our legal team submitted our client’s H-4 visa application, which included a request for a waiver of inadmissibility. Among many other arguments we advanced for our clients, we provided substantial evidence to show that our client poses no threat to the interests or security of the United States. Their conduct underlying the inadmissibility finding was an isolated incident that occurred several years ago and was neither serious nor intentional in nature. Our client’s primary purpose for returning to the United States is to reunite with their spouse and begin building a family, a goal that underscores their strong personal and humanitarian ties to the country. We are very pleased that U.S. State Department agrees with our positions and issued our client’s visa in just a few weeks after their interview so that they could reunite with their family.

In December 2024, USCIS Chicago field office approved our client’s Form I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility, just three weeks after our firm submitted the waiver application. Our client received their green card immediately after the I-601 approval. Our client had been deemed inadmissible based on alleged prior misrepresentations and/or fraud in connection with a previous association with the fraudulent employer Findream, LLC, as detailed in a USCIS Request for Evidence (RFE.) Specifically, USCIS alleged that the client submitted a fraudulent Form I-20 and a false employment letter in support of the STEM OPT application. Attorney Nguyen D. Luu conducted a thorough review of the client’s case file and the surrounding factual circumstances related to Findream, LLC. Upon careful analysis, our firm concluded that the client qualified for the waiver of inadmissibility for misrepresentation and fraud. We promptly prepared and submitted a detailed RFE response, including extensive supporting documentation, to establish the client’s eligibility for the waiver. Our submission clearly demonstrated that the denial of admission would cause extreme hardship to the client’s spouse, a U.S. lawful permanent resident. Accordingly, the client was eligible for the I-601 waiver. We further argued that USCIS should exercise favorable discretion in adjudicating the waiver due to numerous positive factors in the client’s case. Our team worked diligently to expedite the submission directly to USCIS. As a result of our strong advocacy, USCIS approved the I-601 waiver just three weeks after submission. We are pleased to have secured a favorable outcome for our client in record time.

In July 2023, our client’s N-400 naturalization application was approved after our office filed an N-336 Request for a Hearing on a Decision in Naturalization Proceedings. Our client is now a U.S. citizen. Our client, originally from Ghana, immigrated to the United States through the Diversity Visa Program. After living in the U.S. for many years, they applied for naturalization. However, the USCIS field office in Fairfax, VA denied their application, claiming the client had not been lawfully admitted to the United States. USCIS based this decision on the client’s failure to disclose their children on the original diversity visa application years earlier. In essence, USCIS argued that the omission constituted a material misrepresentation, making the client ineligible for naturalization. Following this denial, the client contacted our office for assistance. Attorney Nguyen D. Luu and our legal team accepted representation and promptly filed Form N-336, Request for a Hearing on a Decision in Naturalization Proceedings (under Section 336 of the INA). This type of hearing, similar to a naturalization interview, gives applicants and their attorneys the opportunity to challenge legal or factual errors made by USCIS. Attorney Nguyen D. Luu worked closely with the client to develop persuasive legal arguments and compile supporting documentation. We argued that USCIS’s claim that our client intentionally misled the government was unfounded. The omission of the children’s names was the result of a genuine misunderstanding of the diversity visa application questions, not an attempt to obtain an unfair advantage. Importantly, the omission did not result in the client receiving any immigration benefit they were not otherwise entitled to. We further demonstrated that our client consistently acted in good faith, making every effort to comply with immigration requirements. We also highlighted that even the U.S. Department of State had acknowledged that the diversity visa instructions were unclear, often causing confusion. On that basis, we argued it was unjust to penalize the client for an unintentional misunderstanding. After thoroughly reviewing the appeal and the full record, a senior USCIS officer overturned the denial and approved the client’s application. We are pleased to have successfully secured a favorable outcome for our client.

In May 2025, our office successfully assisted a client in removing an inadmissibility finding under Section 212(a)(6)(C)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (misrepresentation and fraud) through LegalNet. Our client is currently awaiting visa issuance by the U.S. Consulate in Hyderabad, India. As an F-1 international student, our client participated in the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program and was hired by AZTech. Unbeknownst to our client, AZTech appeared to be a possible shell company. AZTech used elaborate means to entice mostly Indian students to pay for training in exchange for temporary employment, seemingly to fulfill F-1 OPT requirements. It appears AZTech falsely promised training services, networking opportunities, and internships perceived to be legitimate employment opportunities. Many F-1 students relied on these promises and received job offers from AZTech. Following NBC Bay Area's investigation exposing the questionable nature of various OPT companies, USCIS and the Department of State have relentlessly pursued former students associated with companies like AZTech. USCIS has issued Requests for Evidence (RFEs), Notices of Intent to Deny (NOIDs), and conducted interviews by USCIS Fraud Detection Officers, all alleging misrepresentation and fraud. Many students and former students also experienced the revocation of their F-1 and H-1B visas. Some were fortunate enough to receive a non-immigrant visa INA 212(d)(3) waiver of inadmissibility, but these waivers require renewal every few years. Previously, our client was briefly associated with AZTech as an unpaid intern during their OPT. The internship was a disappointment, and our client left for another opportunity. Many years later, when our client returned to India to apply for an H-1B visa, their visa application was refused because the U.S. Consulate found them inadmissible due to misrepresentation and fraud under Section 212(a)(6)(C)(i) stemming from their association with AZTech. Fortunately, the U.S. Consulate recommended an INA 212(d)(3) waiver, and our client was able to return to the U.S. In 2025, our client returned to India and applied for another H-1B visa. The U.S. Consulate again denied the visa application but recommended a waiver. This time, however, our client’s visa application was pending for over three months, and their employer became increasingly frustrated with the delayed return. Attorney Nguyen D. Luu and our legal team took on the representation to assist our client. The evidence presented sufficiently supported a finding that the client did not make false representations to procure a benefit under U.S. immigration laws. The firm is very pleased to learn that just ONE day after we contacted LegalNet with a clear explanation and an attorney legal memo addressing our client's past association with AZTech, LegalNet responded. They informed us that, upon further review, our client’s ineligibility under Section 212(a)(6)(C)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) has been removed, and the Consulate will contact our client directly with further instructions on how to proceed. We are very pleased to learn that we were able to obtain a positive result for our client in record time. If you were previously associated with FINDREAM, SINOCONTECH, Integra Technologies, AZTech Technologies, Tellon Trading, Inc., Arecy, CG Max Design Corporation, Reuters Technology Group, or XCG Design Corp in any manner or capacity, it is important to consult with an experienced attorney to immediately advise you, identify potential problems early in your case, and develop a strong case strategy before applying for any immigration benefits.

In February 2025, our office successfully assisted a client in obtaining their H-1B visa from the U.S. Consulate in Hyderabad, India. Our client was forced to leave the U.S. and apply for an H-1B visa due to the denial of their H-1B extension. In the denial, USCIS claimed that our client made false statements and failed to maintain their status while on OPT with Apex IT Systems Inc. ("Apex IT"). As an F-1 visa international student, our client participated in the OPT program and was hired by Apex IT. Unbeknownst to our client, a USCIS investigation later revealed that Apex IT was a fraudulent organization. In response, USCIS has relentlessly pursued former students associated with Apex IT, issuing Requests for Evidence ("RFE") and Notices of Intent to Deny ("NOID") alleging misrepresentation and fraud. Notably, in some RFEs and NOIDs, USCIS asserted that former students should have known that Apex IT's address was a Mexican restaurant in a strip mall. USCIS faulted the students for failing to recognize this and denied many of their STEM OPT or H-1B applications. While our client was still in the U.S., their employer timely filed for their H-1B extension. USCIS then issued a NOID alleging that our client had committed misrepresentation and fraud and had failed to maintain status during their F-1 OPT period. Our client’s employer’s immigration counsel assisted them in responding to the NOID. However, USCIS denied the extension application, forcing our client to return to India to apply for an H-1B visa stamp. Attorney Nguyen D. Luu and our legal team took on representation to assist the client with the visa application process. We conducted multiple mock interviews to ensure the client was well-prepared. Our office also prepared a legal brief, the client’s statement, and supporting documents to firmly establish that our client had not made any misrepresentations to the U.S. government regarding their past OPT employment. Furthermore, the record clearly demonstrated that our client had maintained valid status during their F-1 OPT period and, therefore, should not be found inadmissible. We are pleased to report that one week after our client’s consular interview, their H-1B visa was approved, and they are now on their way back to the U.S. If you were previously associated with FINDREAM, SINOCONTECH, Integra Technologies, AZTech Technologies, Tellon Trading Inc., Arecy, CG Max Design Corporation, XCG Design Corp, or Apex IT Systems Inc. in any capacity, it is crucial to consult with an experienced immigration attorney immediately. Early consultation can help identify potential issues in your case and develop a strong strategy before applying for any immigration benefits.

In June 2024, our office represented a client in overcoming allegations of misrepresentation and fraud related to their association with Smoothies Technology Inc. As an F-1 visa holder, a foreign student is permitted to study in the United States. F-1 visa holders are eligible to extend their stay through Optional Practical Training (OPT), a program that allows students to obtain temporary employment in their field of study. Unbeknownst to many F-1 international students, FINDREAM founder Weiyun “Kelly” Huang and the corporations she established were convicted of conspiracy to commit visa fraud in 2020. Huang used deceptive means to lure students into paying for her services in exchange for securing temporary employment to fulfill OPT requirements. FINDREAM falsely promised training services, networking opportunities, and internships that appeared to be legitimate employment opportunities. Many F-1 students fell victim to the fraud perpetrated by Huang and her accomplices. Following the convictions of the perpetrators, USCIS has relentlessly pursued student victims of this fraud as “knowing co-conspirators” if they were previously employed by FINDREAM, SINOCONTECH, Integra Technologies, AZTech Technologies, Tellon Trading Inc., Andwil LLC, Wireclass, New Beast, Smoothies Technology Inc., and ApexIT Technologies Inc. After our client’s F-1 OPT period ended, they returned to their home country for nearly a decade. In 2024, when they applied for an immigrant visa, they initially underwent a routine immigrant visa interview at the U.S. Consulate. However, they later received an email from the Fraud Prevention Unit requesting a secondary interview. During the secondary interview, the client was subjected to multiple interrogations and ultimately faced the denial of their immigration petition. The Fraud Prevention Unit officer accused our client of being a co-conspirator with Smoothies Technology Inc. and expressed disbelief in their testimony. Attorney Nguyen D. Luu and our legal team took on the case to assist the client in overcoming the misrepresentation allegations. We strategically guided them in rebutting the willful misrepresentation and fraud allegations made by USCIS. The evidence we presented sufficiently demonstrated that the client had not made false representations to obtain a benefit under U.S. immigration laws. Even if any false statement had been made, it was neither willful nor material, thereby overcoming all allegations. A finding of misrepresentation or fraud has severe immigration consequences. It can render a non-citizen inadmissible for life, potentially imposing a permanent bar to obtaining permanent residency unless USCIS grants a waiver at its discretion. Our firm is pleased to share that after the secondary interview, our client was scheduled for a third interview, during which their immigrant visa was approved and issued.  If you were previously associated with FINDREAM, SINOCONTECH, Integra Technologies, AZTech Technologies, Tellon Trading Inc., Arecy, CG Max Design Corporation, XCG Design Corp, Andwil LLC, Wireclass, Codersdata LLC, New Beast, Smoothies Technology Inc., or GlobalITExperts in any manner or capacity, it is crucial to consult with an experienced immigration attorney. Professional legal guidance can help identify potential issues early and develop a strong case strategy before applying for any immigration benefits. Our office has became aware that in many instances, F-1, H-1B visa holders or even green card holders, most from India and China, are being refused admission at the U.S. port of entry, issued Notice of Intent to Deny or Request for Evidence, interviewed by USCIS Fraud Detection Officers, subjected to expedited removal orders, and finding of inadmissibility for misrepresentation and fraud, if they previously held work authorization by association with above companies.

In October 2024, our office successfully overcame a very difficult Notice of Intent to Deny ("NOID") of I-485 Application to Adjust Status for a client who was previously associated with Tellon Trading, LLC (“Tellon Trading”). As an F1 visa international students, our client participated in OPT program and was hired by Tellon Trading as an intern. Our client was promised an exciting internship with accommodating remote work arrangement. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to our client, Tellon Trading was flagged by the news as part of a scheme to deceive students, particularly Chinese students, looking for employment or internships to maintain their F-1 OPT status. Questionable companies like Findream used elaborate means to reel students into their schemes. These companies often advertise themselves as a valid and legal entity with valuable connections to prestigious employers and companies. Tellon Trading was flagged by NBC Bay Area’s investigation along with five other companies that hired employees through the OPT program, including Abroad Intellect Capital, Acuty, Findream, Smoothies Technology and New Beast with possible abuse of the OPT program. After convictions of Kelly Huang, the perpetrator of FINDREAM fraudulent scheme, USCIS and State Department have relentlessly pursued the student victims of fraud as “knowing co-conspirators.” USCIS has issued Request for Evidence, Notice of Intent to Deny, interviews by USCIS Fraud Detection Officers, alleging misrepresentation and fraud, if the student previously held work authorization by association with above companies. Our client was applying for their employment based green card through their employer. During the I-485 interview, they were questioned extensively regarding their internship with Tellon Trading. Our client was subsequently issued a NOID for their association with Tellon Trading. USCIS accused our client of failure to maintain continuous status and misrepresentation, which renders our client's ineligible for adjustment of status. Attorney Nguyen D. Luu and our legal team took on representation to assist our client addressing any potential allegations of misrepresentation and fraud stemming from her association with Tellon Trading. The evidence presented sufficiently supported a finding that the client did not make false representations to procure a benefit under U.S. immigration laws. Furthermore, our client did not have a break in continuous status, and even if they did, our client is eligible for INA 245(k) waiver. The firm is very pleased to learn that our client's green card was issued less than 12 weeks after we submitted our response. If you were previously associated with FINDREAM, SINOCONTECH, Integra Technologies, AZTech Technologies, and Tellon Trading, Inc., Arecy, CG Max Design Corporation, XCG Design Corp in any manner or capacity, it is important to consult with an experienced attorney to immediately advise you and to identify potential problems early in your case and develop a strong case strategy before applying for any immigration benefits.
