加利福尼亚州萨克拉门托消息,美国公民及移民服务局(USCIS)的欺诈侦测工作促使萨姆帕斯·拉吉迪(Sampath Rajidi,51岁)和斯里达尔·马达(Sreedhar Mada,51岁)就共谋实施签证欺诈罪名认罪,美国检察官埃里克·格兰特(Eric Grant)上周宣布了这一消息。
SACRAMENTO, Calif. —U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ fraud detection efforts resulted in the guilty pleas of Sampath Rajidi, 51, and Sreedhar Mada, 51, to conspiracy to commit visa fraud, U.S. Attorney Eric Grant announced last week.
根据法庭文件,拉吉迪经营着两家签证服务公司,即S-Team Software Inc.和Uptrend Technologies LLC。作为S-Team和Uptrend业务模式的一部分,拉吉迪为获取外国劳工以临时安置到各公司,申请了H1-B专业职业工作签证。马达是加利福尼亚州戴维斯市加州大学农业与自然资源部(University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources)的首席信息官。马达拥有监督权限,但未经进一步授权不能为其部门招聘H1-B工人。
According to court documents, Rajidi operated two visa servicing companies, S-Team Software Inc. and Uptrend Technologies LLC. As part of the business models of S-Team and Uptrend, Rajidi petitioned for H1-B specialty occupation worker visas to obtain foreign workers for temporary placement with various companies. Mada was chief information officer of University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources in Davis, California. Mada had supervisory authority but could not hire H1-B workers for his department without further authorization.
2020年6月至2023年1月期间,拉吉迪和马达共谋为多名外国人提交虚假的H-1B签证申请。在这些申请中,拉吉迪谎称这些外国人将在加州大学工作。马达则以其姓名和职位信誉为这一虚假主张提供支持,声称这些人将参与加州大学的项目工作。
Between June 2020 and January 2023, Rajidi and Mada conspired to submit fraudulent H-1B visa petitions for numerous aliens. On those petitions, Rajidi falsely represented that these aliens would be working at the University of California. Mada lent his name and the credibility of his position to support the false assertion that they would work on projects for the University of California.
实际上,拉吉迪和马达都清楚申请中所列职位并不存在,这些外国人也并未在加州大学参与任何项目工作。他们明知虚假信息会影响美国公民及移民服务局(USCIS)关于批准这些签证的决定,仍提交了虚假信息。在他们凭借虚假的雇佣信息成功为这些外国人获得H1-B签证后,又将这些外国人作为雇员推销给其他客户。由于他们的共谋行为,拉吉迪和马达相对其他公司获得了不正当优势,并减少了可供竞争公司使用的H-1B签证名额。
In reality, both Rajidi and Mada knew that the positions listed on the petitions did not exist and the aliens did not work on projects at the University of California. They submitted false information, knowing it would influence USCIS’ decision about granting these visas. After they successfully got H1-B visas for these aliens based on false employment information, they marketed these aliens as employees to other clients. As a result of their conspiracy, Rajidi and Mada gained an unfair advantage over other firms and reduced the pool of H-1B visas available to competing firms.
美国国务院外交安全局、美国移民及海关执法局(ICE)国土安全调查处、美国财政部税务管理监察长办公室,以及USCIS欺诈侦测与国家安全局正在对此案进行调查。助理美国检察官道格拉斯·哈曼(Douglas Harman)负责此案的起诉工作。
The U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations, the U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, and the USCIS Fraud Detection and National Security Directorate are investigating this case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Douglas Harman is prosecuting it.
拉吉迪和马达定于7月30日由美国联邦地区法院法官特洛伊·L·纳恩利(Troy L. Nunley)进行量刑。两人均面临最高五年监禁和25万美元罚款的法定最高刑罚。实际判决将由法院在考虑任何适用的法定因素以及综合多种变量的联邦量刑指南后自行裁量决定。
Rajidi and Mada are scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Troy L. Nunley on July 30. Both face a maximum statutory penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The actual sentence will be determined at the discretion of the court after considering any applicable statutory factors and the federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables.
