Successfully Obtained H4 Status for Client That Was Previously Associated with Integra Technologies LLC after TWO previous denials (November 2022)

In November 2022, our office successfully obtained H4 status for a client who was previously associated with Integra Techonologies LLC (“Integra”).

As an F1 visa international students, our client participated in the  OPT program and was hired by Integra. Unbeknownst to her, Integra appeared to be a possible shell company. Integra  used elaborate means to entice mostly Indian students to pay for trainings in exchange for obtaining temporary employment to fulfill the requirements of F-1 OPT.  It appears that Integra falsely promised to provide training services, networking opportunities, and internships perceived to be legitimate employment opportunities. Many F-1 students relied on Integra's promises and received job offers from Integra.

After NBC Bay Area's investigation exposing Integra's questionable nature, USCIS has relentlessly pursued the former students that were previously associated with Integra.  USCIS has issued Request for Evidence, Notice of Intent to Deny ("NOID"), interviews by USCIS Fraud Detection Officers, alleging misrepresentation and fraud. Many of the students and former students also received  revocation of F-1 visa and H-1B visa.

Previously, our client applied for H-4 status as a spouse of an H1-B visa holder  by filing form I-539 Application to Change Status. USCIS denied her I-539 two times for reasons relating to her past association with Integra. Our client then sought the assistance of our office.

Attorney Nguyen D. Luu and our legal team took on 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. In the event there was a false statement made, it was not willfully made, nor material, thereby overcoming all potential allegations. The firm is very pleased to learn that within just three months after we have submitted our I-539 application,  USCIS has approved our client H-4 status.
