Successfully Obtained INA 212(d)(3) Non-Immigration Visa Waiver and Request to Expedite for Client That Was Previously Associated with Integra Technologies LLC. (January 2025)

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been revoked in 2020 based on their previous employment with the company Integra.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.
