A Dallas attorney has been indicted for conspiracy to commit marriage fraud after federal officials alleged he arranged a phony marriage for his legal assistant in order for her to obtain legal residency in the United States.
According to the recently unsealed indictment, Bilal Ahmed Khaleeq — who practices immigration, family, and bankruptcy law — solicited an unnamed U.S. citizen originally from India and paid him $745 to marry his legal assistant, Amna Cheema, a Pakistani citizen, in order for her to obtain lawful U.S. residency.
