Maher Hussein Smadi said his son entered the U.S. with a student visa. But U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said Smadi came to the United States legally in 2007 using a tourist visa and overstayed the time he was allowed to be in the country.
A student visa would have made Smadi easier to track since a program was established after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to monitor educational visitors. Such a system doesn’t exist for tourists. ......
Federal immigration officials would not say what aspects of Smadi’s case the agency might be investigating, but it’s likely to be looking at how Smadi got a job and who hired him because a tourist visa doesn’t entitle a person to work in the United States.
Mohamad Alhalwani, who operated the business where Smadi worked in Texas, said the manager who hired the young man looked over his documents and saw he had legal status to work.
“We do not hire anybody illegally,” Alhalwani said.
