A US-based immigration lawyer of Indian descent is being hit with a civil fine exceeding $470,000, roughly ₹4 crore, due to claims that he submitted fraudulent asylum paperwork. Suraj Singh allegedly turned in 118 forged documents spanning 54 separate immigration files, many of which featured repetitive language and identical claims. According to American officials, this move is part of an enforcement effort launched in May 2026 to target dishonest asylum filings.
