I am not a CSOFT guy. You might know this news. But today only I saw in starledger newspaper. I am trying to get a link to their website.
I think most of the company employees with pending 485,140, labour and new h1 will be screwed up since Feds treat this case not only as a immigration violation but as sponsoring terrorism.
===============================================
"Fed agents seized more than $5.7millino this from an Edison man who they said used shell consulting companies to help hundreds of Indian nationals illegally enter or stay in the country. He charged as much as $22,000 to sponsor alient work visa."
He filed 1000s of applications in vermont. 224 of them were fradulent. And redirected to Feds. In his manhattan office a spreadsheet found with 240 aliens name.
===============================================

mumtokbe said:Could somebody explain what happened to all the pending I140 & I485's filed by CSFT? Does one assume that they are all gone or wait for the letter from USCIS. Has anybody received such a letter since Dec 2005. Also, when did CSFT close?
Thanks in advance

unitednations said:possible but highly unlikely. one of the main reasons for denial was that labors were not filed in good faith. filed for same person multiple times. As this gets bigger in the media, how do you think uscis/dol would answer that some got approved when it was all a fraud by the comopany. as time goes on they wil get denied. there was a poster whose 140 got approvd three eyars ago. just recently, uscis revoked the approved 140 because the lawyer who filed his labor was convicted for fraud. USCIS had sent an inaquiry on this recently but employer never responded to it.

If you actually worked for Cybersoftec then it is easy to show your intention that you wanted to work permanently with them.
If you never joined or didin't have the intention to join then that is a problem.
If you go back through the earlier postings, I have stated many times, whether you called DOL or not, they would already know. Under racateering laws, etc. they would have access to the e-mails, bank account records, deposits, cancelled checks, correspondence, etc.
However, the way candidates get in trouble is if they provided fraudulent documents to USCIS. Fraudulent documnets would be fake experience letters, doctored degrees/diplomas, etc.
Don't get too worried. By paying money to get a greencard is problematic but as long as you didn't do document fraud, you should be o.k. Remember I-140 and labor is employer documents. You only sign the labor (attesting to your work experience and education). Employer makes the certifications on the labor and the I-140.
Also, as stated earlier; dol, uscis already know about every one of you. You should have contacted DOL long ago. If 150 people contacted DOL then there is a pattern. If you have a different story that counters to the pattern then nobody is going to believe you.
Also, USCIS/DOL would have already contacted you if they were after you in a criminal way. When they do press releases and charges the legal enforcement community like to do it in a big way. The more people involved the bigger the headline. Other then USCIS/DOL revoking/rescinding the labors, 140/485 I doubt much will happen to you.
It is just a "Beginning", a beginning for crack-down, a lot more Nicks.. will be discovered. Nick opened a broad-way for agencies, budgets, plans, enforcement, etc. I have no doubt the case will be debated national level (both media and government).LaborCleared said:I just read some news on samachar.com that Nick Mandalapa is arrested and his accounts has been seized with approx. $5.7 million. A good start indeed.

AnotherVictim1 said:UnitedNation,
All of my I-140,485,EAP and AP which are applied through csoft pre-approved labor are denied. I applied as a future employee. I paid $4000 for labor fees and $6000 for ERP triaing. Total $10000 paid. I have not yet taken the traing from them.
I have not yet contacted DOL/USCIS about my case. Because I was not in payroll. Do I need to contact them and tell about the cheating done to me?
or wait until someone from DOL contacts me? If DOL contacts me all of a sudden, what information I am supposed to give? Can I clearly mention to them about the payment I made (as specified above) in addition to the other information?
My case was very clear. I have applied with good experience. Only thing I am concerned about $4000.00+$6000.00. Can you please clarify how to tell or not to tell DOL about this?
I appreciate your help.
