Signs of a Fraudulent Marriage?

[visacheck 3]

This is nothing new..... this is a clear case of identity theft.

You seem close to this person and his family. With everything you know, looks like you still communicate with him.

I agree with everyone, report him before its too late. If you think he succesfully got his greencard, he's prolly using he's real identity now.

I wanted to ask the advice of people up here on whether or not they think this situation constitutes marriage fraud:

Alien comes over on F-1 visa...doesn't maintain requirements of the visa and becomes out of status by not staying enrolled in the school and carrying a full course load as this particular visa requires.

Alien continues to work, without authorization. (At and near an airport, wierd right?)

Alien then gets married and adjusts status for Green card, and does not live with his spouse, and has a girlfriend that is definitely not the spouse...

Alien's sister also has confirmed that he doesn't live with his spouse and has multiple women in his life...

What do you think? And if it smells like fraud what/how, would you do to report it?

I just think that it is really unfair and unjust for those of us who honestly and correctly go about these procedures of being with our spouses...

If you personally know him, and you have the first hand information that he is an alien (undocumented, illegal, whatever) you have the obligation to call USCIS and report him, so he'll be deported and you wont be wondering about his status.

Goodluck.

Unfortunately I can't write this person out of my life...I have to maintain a certain level of communication with him; however I will report him for abusing the system. He has not only abused the system, but has been conning and coercing people to support his cause.

We don't need another person here that is doing that, life here is hard enough.

[SuperDuper! 230]

And by the way - if you actually know this person (or actually know of him) I would seriously wish you would consider reporting this to the proper authorities.

The last thing I'd want is a illegal/fraudulent person working at an airport (too easy for them to be bullied/blackmailed into possibly doing things they might not ordinarily do which puts us all at risk).

Oh, you mean something like this?

Two charged in plot to board gun on plane at Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA—United States Attorney Michael L. Levy has filed a one-count information charging Damien Young and Roshid Milledge with getting on an aircraft while carrying a concealed dangerous weapon.

The information alleges that on June 4, 2009, Young brought a carry-on bag containing a handgun onto an airplane flying from Philadelphia International Airport to Phoenix, Arizona, and that Milledge, a U.S. Airways employee, smuggled the handgun through an employee’s entrance into the airport.

The USDOJ did not state why the two men wanted to smuggle a weapon aboard an aircraft.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE DEFENDANT(S)

So there is NO circumstance whatsoever that can make you cut off all ties with this guy?? The only thing i can think of is if you both have a child together etc. But look, its none of my business why you can't, i just really feel bad that you are associated with someone who is willingly and disdainfully committing fraud. It seems to be weighing on your mind. Everyone here has given the best advice possible, you need to contact ICE or USCIS (not sure which one specifically) and report him.

LIke one of the other posters wrote, how do you know he is not using YOUR SS no. or a friend/family's??

I know all of us on here who have gone thru the long process of doing things legally and had the satisfaction of being able to live in this country as free men and women get frustrated and angry when people commit visa fraud. I know that if i was in your shoes, i would be calling the appropriate numbers to report him. plus, YOU don't want to be accused of harboring a known fraud, it could affect you and your family.

those are my thoughts...

[Omark 3]

After 9/11 I think its wierd because somehow he was able to still obtain someone's ss number, or recieve an ID or work permit, when F-1 visa holder's are not supposed to accept employment until after completing a program.

I don't know about how people are able to obtain illegal documents that 'check out' without being caught; especially working at an airport base...that's why its wierd to me...

F-1 visas get a SSN and they are not considered illegal even if their visas r expired since they have D/S on their I-94 hence not accumalating any over stay.Unless if an immigration judge found him/her overstaying.

Yes, and I have given it long thought to the effects that it may be on our child. But I suppose he should have thought of that before breaking any laws, and no he's not using my information. I check my credit reports on a regular basis and he has no access to any of my other family members or even the personal information of our child....

I already decided that I will report him. I was just asking if it did seem as if he had broken the law based on the information I gave...

Thanks

If everything you mentioned is correct, then it is fraud. If reported it will not only affect him, but the USC that filed for him. This website does not and will not encourage our members to obtain immigrant visas or any other visas for that matter by using fradulant means.

[Old Dominion 26]

When you report, don't expect the USCIS will act on this anytime soon, if ever.

Really? Wow...

[TBoneTX 45,308]

Make the report to ICE, rather than to USCIS. ICE is the appropriate and most "concerned" agency. You may even ask what their preference is (for filing, documentation, etc.) when they receive a report. But the key to getting the ball rolling is to contact ICE, and not another agency.

Furthermore, ICE will almost certainly have mechanisms to preserve your anonymity, if this is a concern for you.

This post is real bullshit!

She is saying that he might have stolen a SS number, or get a work permit somehow but she doesn´t have any evidence about that. It´s just an assumption.

And then she said

"Sadly I do know him, he tried to marry me for a green card, that is why we are no longer friends. I want to report him, how can I do it? Just call ICE? Can I report anonymously? "

I think she just pissed because he didn´t marry her. Why wasting all that energy on trying to tell on them?.Just do it or don´t do it.

[diadromous mermaid 36]

If you choose to report him, choose ONLY to report that which you know to be a fact and true. Otherwise you dilute any impact you might have. As I see it, you are intending to report information which, at best, is speculative, when you have personal experience which is not. If this person approached YOU to marry in order to evade immigration laws, that is not speculation. Why worry about what arrangement he has with another, when your own past relationship with him could shed light on his true motivation?
