To somebody, immigration seems like "what happened in Vegas, stays in Vegas" thing.

 

 

I am also surprised how many people post on VJ on behalf of their "friends"

99% only filipino do this on behalf of "friends"

Because we Filipinos help each other out. We got each others back.

 

But yeah, i don't really buy the "forgeting im really divorced not single" part though

Maybe he got divorced before he entered the US and because he was not in a relationship at the time of applying for the visa, he declared himself as single.  I have seen a few divorced people who class themselves as 'single' and someone has even asked me what to write on a form when they are divorced but not in a relationship.  My reply:  divorced.

A lot of "visa advisors" have people pay them for advice then turn around and ask the question on VJ. Happens all the time.

There is nothing private to immigration 

nothing at all 

we have to bare our souls, our financial information, our past (school and college), our family info

everything even things i didn't thiink was any of their business like when CO asked my husband if he slept with me

The reason people are asking how he got a green card/citizenship is because if he got it though marriage to a US citizen, there's a wait time before he's able to petition for someone for a fiance or spouse visa. He probably knows this, and is why he lied about being married before. They'll find out. Or, if he got to the US based on a status where he had to be unmarried, but really *was* married at the time (unmarried sons and daughters of USCs) then he could be in an even bigger pile of trouble, and so he's lying about it.

 

Or, he's simply being an idiot about "wanting to forget the past" so badly that he'll lie on a federal application. But that doesn't seem likely. 

 

I'd say your friend has got a real problem right now and quite frankly, should just ditch this loser who is clearly up to no good. If she wants to persist, she needs to get him to go to a lawyer now and have them walk him through how to fix this. This is probably a bit out of the depth here.

By basis they mean how did he get the visa to come over in the first place - because if the petitioner originally entered on a visa where you had to be single (unmarried son of a citizen comes to mind as an example) then yes there could be repercussions. 

 

The recent case was for white lies as it were things that happened but if you had been honest it wouldn't have prevented you getting that visa or being allowed in or getting citizenship.

 

This is different, pretending you are single when you are not for an immigration benefit where the immigration benefit would have been denied had it been known will most likely be seen as material misrepresentation. You can get your citizenship revoked if it was granted based on a lie that would have meant that you would not have been given your original visa. 

whoah. thats going to be a hard case.. i guess.. advices them to just better get a lawyer and do something this early or they might regret it..

yeah. thats the best thing i can tell them too. well excuses made, she said he thought that doeasnt count because that before he came in the US. i think if he only made an honest mistake then there wont be a problem at the beginning..
