Ahmedabad Trader Defrauded of Rs 3.1 Crore in EB-5 Visa Scam |

A businessman from Ahmedabad was allegedly cheated out of Rs 3.10 crore by two men who promised to help him secure an EB-5 visa for the US. The businessman, Yogesh Patel, signed a pact with the accused, Vikram Vaghela and Mohit Shah, and paid the money between 2014 and 2015. Despite providing all necessary documents, Patel received a rejection letter from the USCIS in 2019. The accused did not return Patel’s money or the promised Rs 7 crore. The EB-5 visa allows investors and their families to apply for permanent residency in the US. Patel filed a cheating complaint with the police against the accused.
