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.
