Dallas, TX – May 23, 2025

Two Texas residents, Abdul Hadi Murshid, 39, and Muhammad Salman Nasir, 35, both originally from Pakistan, have been indicted for their roles in a large-scale visa fraud and money laundering operation. The scheme also implicates the Law Offices of D. Robert Jones PLLC and Reliable Ventures, Inc.

The indictment alleges that Murshid and Nasir orchestrated a fraudulent operation exploiting the EB-2, EB-3, and H-1B visa programs. They purportedly placed advertisements for non-existent jobs to satisfy Department of Labor requirements, enabling them to file fraudulent visa applications and petitions for legal permanent residence on behalf of foreign nationals. To make these fictitious jobs appear legitimate, the defendants allegedly received payments from visa seekers and returned a portion as purported payroll.

Acting U.S. Attorney Chad E. Meacham stated, “These defendants are charged with engaging in extensive measures to hide a massive, multi-year, immigration fraud scheme through which they reaped substantial personal financial gain.” FBI Dallas Special Agent in Charge R. Joseph Rothrock added, “The defendants allegedly oversaw an international criminal enterprise for years that repeatedly undermined our nation’s immigration laws.”

Murshid and Nasir made their initial appearances before U.S. Magistrate Judge Rebecca Rutherford on May 23, 2025. Detention hearings are scheduled for May 30, 2025, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Brian McKay. As with all defendants, they are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
