US DOJ charges 11 over marriage fraud
The U.S. Department of Justice has charged 11 individuals in a case involving an elaborate scheme that lasted an entire year to organize around a thousand sham marriages. The goal was to enable foreigners, mostly from China, to obtain legal residence in the United States. Participants in the scheme paid up to $100,000 each to marry American citizens, who in turn received up to $30,000 for consenting to the marriages. These marriages helped provide the necessary documentation to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, allowing Chinese residents to acquire permanent resident status. The Attorney General stated that this case is among the largest marriage-related fraud schemes in U.S. history and highlights how some are attempting to circumvent the immigration system. This comes amid new American measures to scrutinize the activities of visa holders, especially concerning births that automatically grant U.S. citizenship.
