Our client, holding an H1B visa status, faced a significant challenge with a pending I-485 application. He received a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) due to unauthorized employment when he applied for OPT. During this period, he was associated with AZ Technology LLC and had submitted a resume indicating his employment with them. USCIS suspected fraud and misrepresentation in this case and also hinted at the potential revocation of his approved I-140.
The client was partially at fault, as he remained with AZ Technology LLC for some time after discovering the company’s fraudulent activities. This added complexity to the case, as he did not immediately leave the employer due to the lack of an alternative job.
Despite these challenges, we developed a strategic legal response to the NOID. Our approach successfully addressed USCIS’s concerns, leading to the approval of the I-485 application.
