Indian-born New Jersey businessman faces denaturalization over fraud concealment
Jun 8, 2026
Country of origin: India

Neeraj Sharma, a 50-year-old Indian native and owner/CEO of staffing company Magnavision LLC in New Jersey, is facing denaturalization for concealing fraud when he naturalized. As an officer of Magnavision, Sharma signed and filed eleven fraudulent H-1B visa petitions with USCIS between April 2015 and April 2017, falsely representing that visa beneficiaries would be employed with a particular global financial institution and including forged signatures of executives on corporate letterhead. He became a lawful permanent resident in February 2012 and later naturalized in December 2017 after falsely denying, under penalty of perjury, that he had ever committed crimes or lied to gain immigration benefits. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey filed a complaint on June 4, 2026 seeking to revoke his citizenship as part of a Justice Department effort targeting 17 naturalized citizens.
