Success Story: Overcame NOID and Obtained H4 Status Extension for Client That Was Previously Associated with FINDREAM for 3 years (January 2022)

Feb 04, 2022

In January 2022, our office successfully obtained H4 status extension for a client who was previously associated with   FINDREAM, LLC (“FINDREAM”) for three years.


As an F1 visa international students, our client participated in the STEM OPT program and was hired by FINDREAM. Unbeknownst to her, 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 F1 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.” USCIS has issued Request for Evidence, Notice of Intent to Deny ("NOID"), interviews by USCIS Fraud Detection Officers, alleging misrepresentation and fraud, if the student previously held work authorization by association with above companies.

 

Previously, our client already obtained H4 status as a spouse of an H1B visa holder. During her H4 extension application, USCIS issued a NOID alleging that our client had made material misrepresentations and committed fraud with respect to her association with FINDREAM.


Attorney Nguyen D. Luu and our legal team took on representation to assist our client responding to the NOID. 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 within just 30 days after we have submitted our NOID response,  USCIS has approved our client H4 extension application.

 

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.
