Time for Some Strategic Thinking about Debarment of Unethical Immigration Attorneys
By Dan Cadman on March 16, 2018
Law360 (partially behind a paywall) is reporting that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) "imposed a full associational and penny stock bar against attorney Hui Feng and his law firm months after a California federal judge found them liable for defrauding Chinese nationals looking to obtain visas".
That got me to thinking: What happens to Feng and his firm for purposes of representing clients before the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), the division of the Department of Justice (DOJ) responsible for the immigration courts and appellate reviews? And what happens to Feng and his firm for purposes of representing alien clients seeking benefits — such as EB-5 visas, the source of Feng's current troubles — before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the division with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that adjudicates immigration benefits?
