ROCHESTER, N.Y. — A man has been charged with visa fraud following an FBI investigation in Rochester’s North Winton Village, federal authorities announced Thursday.
Dilbar Gul Dilbar, a citizen of Afghanistan, was arrested on Blossom Road after investigators uncovered evidence that he fraudulently applied for a special immigration visa in both 2016 and 2021. According to federal documents, Dilbar used a fake employment letter and falsified recommendation in his applications.
Despite the fraudulent documents, his visa application was approved in April 2024, and he subsequently obtained a U.S. green card in July, officials said.
The FBI arrested Dilbar and charged him with visa fraud, a federal offense. Authorities have not disclosed whether additional charges may follow or whether removal proceedings will be initiated.
The case remains under investigation.
