对于曾就有关OPT Findream以及其它被认定为非法的OPT项目的诉讼而向锐泽征求信息的参与人的通知

以下为锐明文泽律所移民部负责人, 前联邦移民法官hom律师的书面通知:

有很多人联系锐明文泽律师事务所,就我们此前在服务征求函中所解释的法律论点所拟议的诉讼向我们询问进展。在此,我想向大家告知最新的法律进展。

应当指出的是,由于政府一贯地坚持要求诉讼的结果仅局限于特定的个人、而非宽泛地适用于某一类人群,因此,拟议的诉讼将只代表那些名字出现在诉状上的原告们的权益。一直以来,此种做法能给予政府一定的空间以协商一个公平的和解方案,而不用害怕某一个涉及整个群体的公开决定可能会扰乱其行政及立法行为。尽管和本案的诉由不尽相同,诸位若有兴趣可以参阅近期政府在Gayle et al. v. Meade et al.一案中的立场。该案的案卷号为1:20-cv-21553,审理法庭为弗罗里达南区联邦法院。因此,锐泽预计,此次诉讼所得来的结果只能使那些正式地加入诉讼、且名字列在诉状上的那些原告们受益。

在Findream & Sinotech的创始人与管理人KellyHuang被刑事定罪后,很多人担心他(她)们之前曾参与过的OPT项目也会受到DHS的调查。流传的证据显示,有经营OPT的其他机构后来被认定为非法、或者被发现该机构在经营OPT项目时其实已经失去了合法资质而属违法经营,结果曾经参与那些OPT项目的人有因此被拒绝了移民申请、或在回美国时被拒绝入境。是故,笔者认为,曾参与过那些OPT项目的人早晚会碰到这个问题。就移民局会如何行事,大家可以回顾2012年轰动一时的纽约华裔移民律师因移民欺诈而被捕、并最终因编造递交虚假的政治庇护申请而被定罪的事件。政府在该事件之后的清算行动对如今的情况很有指导意义。在2012年该事件发生之后,凡是之前和涉案律师有关联并获批政治庇护的人,都被政府告上移民法庭要求撤销曾经授予他(她)们的政治庇护,并要求将其驱逐出境,即便其中很多人已经拿到了绿卡。政治庇护被撤销,意味着因政治庇护而获得的绿卡也会无效。

最后,迄今为止,有意成为原告并参与本次诉讼状告国土安全局(DHS)下属各相关机构的客户人数已经接近我们起诉的最低要求的数量了。那些在过去曾就此事联系过锐泽的客户若有意参与此次诉讼,请向我们索取一份律师雇佣协议并熟悉其中的条款和条件。

In response to the many individuals that have contacted us regarding the status of Reid & Wise LCC progression in its proposed lawsuit to address the legal concerns that were previously explained in prior solicitations of our services,I want to give you an update to latest legal developments.

It needs to pointed out that the lawsuit will be on behalf of the named plaintiffs as the Government has vigorously opposed class-wide determinations and seeks to limit the results of any case to the individuals that are named in the lawsuit. Historically, this provides room for the Government to negotiate an equitable settlement without the fear of class-wide pronouncements that may disrupt their administration of the INA and its regulations. While not on the same subject matter and if interested, take a look at the recent Government’s position in Gayle et al. v. Meade et al.,case number 1:20-cv-21553, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern Districtof Florida. Therefore, R&W anticipates that any results from our efforts will be in all likelihood limited to the named plaintiffs that have formerly joined the lawsuit.

A word on the concern of many that may have participated in OPT programs that the DHS has or will investigate following the criminal conviction of “Kelly” Huang, founder and operator of Findream & Sinotech, there have been anecdotal evidence that participants of those investigated to be found illegitimate ororganizations that may have disappeared as a proper legal entity, but continuedto operate an OPT program in violation of law, have been denied immigrationbenefits or denied admission back into the US for their association with suchentities. Therefore, it is the opinion of the author that it is not a question“if” the issue will turn up, but “when.” For guidance of how US Government will react, you only need to go backto the notorious Chinese immigration attorneys in New York that were arrestedin 2012 and eventually convicted of immigration fraud for creating andsubmitting fraudulent asylum applications. Those persons that were associated with theattorney and that were granted asylum at the Asylum Office or by the USImmigration Judge,[t1] the Government moved inImmigration Court to rescind those asylum grants and remove them from theUnited States, despite the fact that some were granted lawful permanentresidence (Green Card) in the US. Acquiring rescission of the asylum grant madethe grant of LPR improper.

Finally,we are nearing the needed number of participants that are interested in movingforward and desiring to be a part of the claims against the varied departmentsof Dep’t of Homeland Security. Those that have contacted R&W in the pastand expressed interest in participating should request a copy of the participant agreement and familiarize yourself with its terms and conditions.
