Aftab Ali, aka Aftab Ali Khan, 28, the Pakistani citizen convicted of carrying out the attempted Times Square bombing has been charged with immigration fraud. Ali entered the U.S. in August 2009 to marry his then-fiancé and began working at a gas station without employment authorization. It is alleged that approximately three months later, after marrying a different woman, Ali defrauded the government by filing documents to adjust his immigration status in which he knowingly omitted his unauthorized employment.
If convicted, Ali faces up to 10 years imprisonment, to be followed by three-year term of supervised release and a $250,000 fine on the charge of immigration document fraud and up to five years imprisonment to be followed by a three-year term of supervised release and a $250,000 fine on the charge of making false statements.
