Need some assistance, if anyone can help... please do....

I am needing to file a complaint against a foreign national here on a
visitor's visa. He is waiting for his permanent residency visa to
come in.

He went into partnership with my mother and conned her into going into
an LLC so that he can obtain his visa. In the course of events, he
had run the company bankrupt after 2 weeks of opening and stole $15K
of company money and fled the country. We have been in mediation for
the past month to recoup some money, but he has the attitude of "catch
me if you can if you want your money".

I believe this guy is a scam artist. He conned my mother and got away
with it. Long story short, I'd like to write an extensive complaint
on this guy and address it to INS. They need to red flag his
application and not grant this criminal his visa. At this moment, he
is back in his home country, but I want to make it difficult for him
to ever set foot on this land again. It could be your mother that he
cons next of her life's savings.

I am willing to write a complaint to any department that will red flag
his visa. Any info would be so much appreciated!

Thank you.

Haven't you heard of filing charges in court?

INS which does not exist any longer, it is now the USCIS, is not the
agency you want to contact. You can file a letter complaint with ICE
and also send a letter to the US Consulate in his own country. This
would be helpful if it is not a visa waiver country and requires that he
obtains a B-2 visa to enter the US.

Other than that, take it to court where it will be legally filed and
will perhaps be picked up by the FBI for their records for future
name searches.

Is your mother willing to file a complaint? I ask only because if *you*
write a complaint, nothing will happen. Nothing will probably happen if
your mom writes either... but for sure nothing will happen if you do.
Why? Because you will be considered a disinterested 3rd party... unless
you are somehow involved in your mother's company, which does not seem
to be the case given what you've written.

Besides, IMHO, this is *not* an immigration issue... it is a tort
action. You see them as related, but they really aren't.

We have been in mediation with his attorney. It's gotten no where.
Lots of stalling on his part. Again, he has the luxury of time and
distance while my mother is paying the bills that are coming in. Why
did she get herself in this in the first place you may be asking? His
wife was her friend and they asked her to help them out to start a
life in the U.S. and the business is how they were going to go about
it. My mom always willing to help, did so. Unfortunately, she was
too trusting and the fact that she does not read or write english gave
them an advantage (she has been a U.S. citizen for 35 years). Since
I have uncovered the goings on, I have taken action on my mother's
behalf. Whatever I write, you can believe that it is coming from
her.

We have been advised that we can take this to a civil court, however,
it will take $50K for attorney's fees to maybe win a judgement for
$40K and then you have to try to get the money out of him. If we were
rich and money was not an issue, sure, we'd do it in a heartbeat.
But, it's not the case for us so we have to try to pursue other
avenues, whatever those may be.

We will file papers to take him and his wife to small claims court so
at least we can get out what we can, if they decide to show up. If
they don't then it'll will be a count somewhere on their record, I'm
assuming. All this is new to me and I'm feeling my way in the dark.

I understand that this is *not* an immigration issue, however I'd
still like them to know the kind of people they may be letting into
the country. A scam artist who's out to take honest hard working
American's for their money. It might now prevent him from coming in,
but it might pull his application out and stall it... who know's it's
a beuracracy, I know- but whatever I can do to make it difficult, I
will gladly do.

Thanks for this info, Rete, I will surely take this advice. I had
called the ICE and left a verbal complaint with their tipline.
Although, I am fully aware it probably didn't get anywhere.

I should mention that he claims to be a CPA in his home country of the
Netherlands. I'm thinking of writing a formal complaint to their
association- I believe they go by Registered Accountants (RA) and
report him for his conduct.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I think that neither he nor his mother has any proof that he has
conned her.
Most likely, it'd also be a relative who fooled his mother. But
whether he really stole the money or not, who knows? That should be
settled in court. After all, which business partner will not cover
their ass when entering into a busness.

It is obvious that he used the company to obtain a visa and mother
and son are angry about it. Be a little generous. The poor guy just
wanted to come to US.

I have proof that he stole the money. I've given him many
opportunities to provide his receipts to back-up the transactions.
Time and time again, he has not provided. Scam artists are good at
what they do, because they do just enough before crossing the legal
line.

I agree, it would be very difficult to prove an intent to defraud.
Daughter and mother are not angry that he used the company to obtain a
visa- this was agreed on in the beginning of the partnership.
Daughter and mother are angry that he spent all the money and bought
himself some nice toys, then decided to go back home so that he didn't
have to repay them leaving my mom to pay the $82K that he spent in 2
months time. >

Anyhow, I'm not here to get bashed on, nor explain the details of the
situation. I am asking for some constructive suggestions on what I
can do, other than going to court which is obvious- to make certain
authorities aware of his activities should he decide to come back and
make a life in the U.S. God forbid he bilk someone else.

She has been an American for 35 years and cannot read or write! Shame on
her.

I'm just totally gobsmacked that your mom has been a US citizen for 35
years and hasn't yet learned to read or write English. I have no
sympathy for someone who has willingly contributed to the situation.
She's had plenty of time to learn enough English to protect herself.
Damn it all to hell.

Fraud is a criminal offence, a Police matter.
