Chicago-Area Man Sentenced for Staged Robberies to Help Visa Applicants: Feds
Prosecutors said the scheme generated at least $2 million and led to fraudulent U-visa applications filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
- On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Mary M. Rowland sentenced Woodridge resident Parth Nayi, 29, to two years in federal prison for organizing hundreds of staged armed robberies to facilitate fraudulent U-visa applications.
- Participants paid Nayi $5,000 to $30,000 each to pose as robbery victims in staged crimes, enabling them to apply for U-visas reserved for foreign nationals who assist law enforcement investigating serious offenses.
- Assistant U.S. Attorney Saqib Mohammad Hussain stated Nayi "was the main organizer and at the center" of hundreds of staged robberies nationwide, generating at least $2 million in illicit cash from the scheme.
- Federal prosecutors secured convictions against five other individuals involved in the scheme, while Rowland also imposed a $50,000 fine on Nayi alongside the prison sentence.
- Fake 911 calls generated by the staged robberies wasted significant public resources, as the fraud undermined a U-visa program designed to support legitimate crime victims seeking legal status through cooperation with federal investigations.
