Phony Nobel Prize nominee linked to leader of controversial Pakistani political group deported

SAN FRANCISCO – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced today that a Bay Area Pakistani national who posed as a Nobel Prize nominee to gain a “green card” and had ties to a Pakistani political organization has been deported.

ICE officials say Shehrezad Faruk Czar, 38, arrived in Pakistan Saturday on board a commercial flight.  Czar’s removal comes after he pleaded guilty in federal court in September to making fraudulent statements in order to obtain legal permanent residence in the United States.  Specifically, Czar admitted falsely claiming that he graduated as a medical doctor from Dow Medical College in 1987.  As part of his guilty plea, Czar also agreed to a stipulated order of removal to Pakistan and waived his right to a hearing before an immigration judge.

Czar immigrated to the United States five years ago after receiving an employment-based visa as an alien of “extraordinary ability.”  In his visa application, Czar claimed he had been nominated for a Nobel Prize for “outstanding research in applied economics, quantum physics and mathematical sciences,” and had received doctoral degrees of  “Quantum Economics” and “Econo-Physics” from the “University of Berkley.”

“Let’s be clear – those who use fake documents and fraudulent information to obtain visas and gain immigration benefits are stealing a precious gift from the American people,” said San Francisco ICE Chief Counsel Ronald E. Le Fevre.  “Beyond that, visa fraud poses a serious threat not only to the integrity of our nation’s legal immigration system, but also to the security of our country.”
Czar was indicted in April after an investigation by ICE and the Federal Bureau of Investigation determined that the information the Fremont man provided in support of his visa application, including several forged letters, was false.�

The probe also revealed that Czar had contact with Altaf Hussain, the leader of a Pakistani political group known as the Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) that has been linked to several acts of violence.  Hussain is in exile in England, after being convicted in Pakistan in absentia for helping organize the kidnapping and murder of four Americans and their Pakistani driver in 1997.
Czar admitted contacting the MQM and its leadership, but claimed that he did so to obtain a banking license in Pakistan.  The government found that questionable, given Hussain’s status as an exile and a fugitive.  While records show Czar had received public assistance from Alameda County since April 2003, the investigation determined that the Fremont man received a overseas cash transfer of nearly $10,000 into a bank account late last year.
The MQM originated as an ethnic student rights group in the late 1970s.  Hussain founded the party to protect the rights of Urdu-speaking Muslims whose descendants came from India to Pakistan after the partition of 1947.
