FBI chief Kash Patel praised his teams after two Pakistani nationals - Abdul Hadi Murshid and Muhammad Salman Nasir - were arrested.
Two Pakistani nationals based in Texas have been arrested for allegedly running a multi-year immigration fraud and money laundering racket involving fake job offers and fraudulent visa applications, FBI director Kash Patel has said.
Abdul Hadi Murshid, 39, and Muhammad Salman Nasir, 35, have been charged along with a Texas law firm and a company named Reliable Ventures Inc. The charges include conspiracy to defraud the United States, visa fraud, money laundering, and racketeering. Murshid is also accused of illegally trying to get US citizenship.
"Major arrests out of @FBIDallas. Abdul Hadi Murshid and Muhammad Salman Nasir, two individuals out of Texas who allegedly oversaw and operated a criminal enterprise circumventing American immigration laws by selling fraudulent visa applications," wrote Kash Patel on X.

According to the indictment, the two men and their businesses made money by filing fake visa applications to help foreigners, called "visa seekers" in court documents, illegally enter and stay in the US. They submitted false paperwork, lied about job offers, and used the EB-2, EB-3, and H-1B visa programmes to trick the system.
