Korean Deportation issue with complications

[Glenn & Anne 16]

Hello everyone,

I am new here and I have a question I need answered by the more knowledgeable here.

I have been talking with a lady I have met in the Philipppines. We have been talking for a while and I like her very much. The issue that she has is she was working in South Korea for a year and a half, she overstayed her visa and was detained and deported. The really bad part is she was using her sisters passport to enter the country and work there. She said she was finger printed but they did not have her real name. I asked on another site for Fil-Am relationships and their advice was to just run away and have nothing to do with her. I really like this lady and I believe she is a good woman and honest in her dealings with me. She used her sisters passport only because of the age of her sister to get the job, she said she was too old to be hired.

Is this something that would prevent her from getting a K-1 or a K-3 visa in the U.S.? When she is finger printed again for the immigration process is this going to come up and cause a denial? What could be done to gain approval if so. I just need to hear your thought and opinions on this please. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this before. I need to know soon before I get to deeply involved with this lady.

Thank you for your help.

In general, the US doesn't care about immigration issues in a third country. However, she must be honest when indicating where she lived during that time. Fortunately for you, the police report normally required for all countries lived for that long is only available to current residents. (Unavailble equates to NOT required)

I was wondering if the part about entering another country with someone else's passport would be considered a crime that would exclude her from a U.S. visa

For Citizenship they ask the question "Have you ever committed a crime for which you weren't caught or punished?", is it asked earlier in the process?

How would she answer this?

Read the questions on the DS230 and the I-485 and see if it's there.

The lady that I am speaking to has told me that she has a couple of friends who did the exact same thing before, using smothers passport, and they are married to U.S. Citizens. Did they lie and not get caught? I guess what I need is someone to tell me flat out if the part where she used her sister's passport would exclude her from obtaining a visa or not. Are there any exceptions? I just need to know for sure before I have to tell this wonderful woman that we can't be together from what I have read so far. I was really hoping it was not as bad as it sounded.

I thank you all for your advice and counsel from those who have gone before me in this long arduous process.

If you want a 'flat out' answer about an area of immigration legality - I would ask an immigration attorney instead of people on a message board.

Let's see...

Using someone else's Identity Documents for personal gain is Identity Theft. Does that crime fall into one of the groups that excludes her from immigration benefits?
