Successfully Obtained H-1B Visa and Green Card for Client That Was Previously Associated with DEALFAR ( Jan 2022)

In January 2022, our office successfully obtained H-1B visa for a client who was previously associated with DEALFAR, LLC (“DEALFAR”).

As an F1 visa international students, our client participated in OPT program and was hired by DEALFAR as an intern. Our client was promised an exciting internship with accommodating remote work arrangement.

Unbeknownst to her, DEALFAR 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 her H-1B extension visa at an U.S. Consulate abroad. During the consular interview, she was questioned extensively regarding her internship with DEALFAR. She was subsequently issued a Request for Evidence for her association with DEALFAR. For several months, she was unable to come back to the U.S. until she contacted our office seeking for assistance.

 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 DEALFAR. 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, thereby overcoming all potential allegations. The firm is very pleased to learn that our client's H-1B visa was promptly approved less than 8 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.

* Update: In June 2022, with our assistance, our client successfully obtained her green card. Our attorney appeared with the client during the Adjustment of Status interview and advocated on our client's behalf.  We also submitted a legal memo and documents in support of our client. The client's I-485 form was approved just within 2 weeks of the interview. We are extremely very pleased of the result.
