A New York-based Guyanese working as an adjudicator in an office of the US Citizen and Immigration Services has pleaded not guilty to promising to secure immigration papers for a Colombian woman in exchange for sexual favours, the New York Times (NYT) reported on Friday.
Isaac R. Baichu, 46, who became a US citizen in 1991, handled about 8,000 green card applications during his three-year tenure as an adjudicator at the Garden City, New York office. He recently pleaded not guilty to felony and misdemeanour charges and faces up to seven years in prison if convicted.
