CHICAGO — A Chinese businesswoman was indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday on fraud charges for allegedly providing false verifications of employment for Chinese nationals seeking to stay in the United States on student and work visas.

This indictment was announced by the following agency heads: U.S. Attorney John R. Lausch Jr., Northern District of Illinois; Special Agent in Charge James M. Gibbons, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI); and Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey S. Sallet, FBI Chicago.

Weiyun Huang, also known as “Kelly Huang,” 30, of Beijing, China, is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit visa fraud and five counts of visa fraud, according to an indictment returned July 25 in U.S. District Court in Chicago.

Huang has been in federal custody since March after her arrest in the Northern District of California.  Her arraignment in federal court in Chicago has not yet been scheduled.

An F-1 visa permits a foreign national to study in the United States at a university or other academic institution.  An F-1 visa holder could extend the visa by participating in a program that required the student to obtain temporary employment in their area of study.

An H-1B visa permits U.S.-based employers to temporarily employ foreign nationals in specialty occupations.  Foreign nationals with an H-1B visa are permitted to stay in the U.S. for three years, with the possibility of extending their stay to six years.

According to the indictment, Huang founded two companies — Findream LLC and Sinocontech LLC — for the purpose of employing foreign nationals in the United States.

Huang advertised Findream as a “startup company in technology services and consulting,” with clients in China and the U.S.
