Alien Visa - H1B status

Does anyone have some experience in hiring
or attempting to hire aliens in a VISA petition
process? We are an aviation firm trying to
hire an Australian pilot, who's H-1B status
was recently rescinded because his paperwork was
incomplete. He asked for our help in the process,
and we hired an attorney with INS experience to
facilitate things. The Attorney has drafted
a letter from our company to the INS singing this guy's praises and really puffing up his resume!
With a big PUFF on his proposed salary....
She seems to feel this is the only route to a
successful outcome with the INS. My question
is, is the INS in the habit of "auditing"
their VISA-holders? How are we exposed if we
exaggerate his credentials? His salary?
And, if this letter is disclosed to the
petitioner, are we held to the details it
outlines? The attorney is mute on this point -
I'm hoping someone out there has some insight..

Personally, I would not inflate or exaggerate the resume, nor would I pay more than the going rate.
Your post indicated his paperwork was incomplete. Did the attorney review what the actual problems were?
When we tried to hire a person from outside of the US, the Department of Labor required us to prove that we have not been able to find a US Citizen that could or is willing to fit our position description. We could not accomplish DOL concerns and cancelled our efforts.
In this day and time it would be very difficult to get an ok for any foreign national that is not already here and legal to get an offer to come to this location for a hiring opportunity.
Good luck in your efforts!

Good luck.
I agree with everything that has been said already. Don't risk it! It won't be worth it in the long run. And, as far as the attorney is concerned, I would say run from them as fast as you can. They sound like they could get you and your company in a lot of trouble.
