- false statements & lying on immigration forms
- bigamy & sham marriages
- falsely claiming crime-victim status or abuse

Feds Claim 1,800 Applicants Somehow Not Complicit
- Dept. of Justice indictment, July 23, 2019
Did they actually interview the 1,800 applicants?
Will all 1,800 green cards be denied based on the blatant fraud?
Historically, the answer has been a resounding "no"
"A few minutes later, I was looking down the barrel of a rifle ... I hired a retired FBI special agent as a private investigator. ...I figured if we clearly documented that Erik was inadmissible to get a green card in the first place, involved in criminal activities, lied on immigration forms, tried to kill me, repeatedly threatened me, and committed marriage fraud, the feds would have to do something. I was wrong."
-Elena Maria Lopez; U.S. citizen defrauded & almost killed by Dutch husband (U.S. Senate hearing, 2017)
"... my husband became abusive toward our children and threatened to take them back to the Czech Republic if I did not sponsor him for his green card ... Facing deportation for marriage fraud, a charge leveled by the federal government, my husband, a former professional hockey player, at 6’2” tall and over 200 lbs., self petitioned as a battered and abused spouse."

- A perfect way to legalize a temporary visa or illegal status
- Rarely investigated: Overwhelmed with rampant fraud, government employees ignore the majority of cases reported
- Fraudsters rarely engage in just ONE type of fraud: Marriage cases may also involve financial fraud, false statements, false identities, false documents & hiding criminal activities
- NOT a victimless crime: It puts Americans and the nation's security at risk
- People of every race, ethnicity, political affiliation and sexual orientation are targeted through immigration fraud scams
- Naturalized U.S. citizens and first-generation Americans are just as likely to be victimized
Foreign criminals successfully bypassed background checks, investigations and interviews to gain U.S. citizenship and green cards, warned an immigration fraud whistleblower at White House meetings. After fraudulently gaining green cards through such loopholes, these foreign nationals immediately married military personnel with high-level security clearances.
The FBI was so concerned with such cases that it reached out to the American whistleblower about the cases ... (Read more)
