On Friday, the Dallas Morning News<\/a> posted an article about Sherin<\/a> Thawer, 45, an Irving, Texas<\/a>, immigration lawyer, who was arrested on federal fraud<\/a> charges for allegedly forging visa applications for illegal immigrants she represented.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The seven-count indictment, issued earlier this week and unsealed on Friday, charges Thawer with one count of conspiracy to commit fraud in connection with immigration documents; one count of mail fraud<\/a>; one count of transfer or use of the means of identification of another person; and four counts of aggravated identity theft<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thawer represented immigrants who were applying for various visas<\/a> to enter or remain in the U.S., officials said. That included U Nonimmigrant Status, known as a U-Visa.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

To qualify for a U-Visa, an immigrant<\/a> must have been a victim of a certain crime<\/a> and helped law enforcement<\/a> with the investigation or prosecution. Applicants must submit a form completed by the law enforcement agency that worked on the case.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From around March 2012 to September 2014, Thawer submitted forged law enforcement certification forms to get U-Visas for the immigrants she represented, authorities said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What in the world was this woman thinking? When she was admitted to the bar, there were certain standards that she was expected to uphold. It is really sad that she chose to violate the law instead of enforce it.<\/p>\n
