Indian Man Faces 10 Years in US for Fake Green Card
Swapnil Ramesh Tejale, a 34-year-old Indian national, has been arrested in the US and charged with possessing a forged alien resident card. The arrest was announced by US Attorney Michael DiGiacomo.
The charge, stemming from an investigation by the Western District of New York, carries a potential sentence of up to 10 years imprisonment and a hefty fine of USD 250,000.
Tejale’s case highlights the increasing scrutiny faced by immigrants attempting to circumvent US immigration laws. The severity of the potential penalty underscores the zero-tolerance approach towards such offences.
This incident serves as a stark reminder to Indian citizens seeking to live and work in the US to adhere strictly to legal immigration procedures. The potential consequences of fraudulent documentation can be devastating, both personally and professionally.
