USCIS sent a letter to my wife about intent to deny my I-130 due to my divorce document found to be fraudulent and dated from January 20, 2016 which I did not pay attention to. And also my nonimmigrant visa stated married and obtained in February 1st, 2016. Please advise me on What do i do? Thank you.

Your visa application in Feb said married, your divorce decree is dated Jan?

Falsifying a material fact is irreversible.  The penalty is severe.  Lifetime ban.  You are way past help here.  You need a lawyer, a good one.

 

Pay attention to the section about false

or forged documents.

The problem is, they think these files remain overseas. They do not understand that an IO in the remotest part of Alaska will pull this record in 5 mins or less.

He is half-way honest though. So I give him thumbs up for that. He just needs to fully give us the exact chronology of the story and we can give answers accordingly. 

 

@retheem it is time for you to come advise. My mouth is shut today.

Frustrating to see someone so obviously and desperately try to game the system. I’m glad the Government were efficient enough to detect it and will invariably prevent him becoming a lawful permanent resident.

That is factually inaccurate. Immigrants do get away with fraudulent divorce decrees all the time. Perhaps you have little experience about West Africa, trust me no IO is going to be able to unearth divorce decrees (fraudulent or otherwise) sitting in his office in the USA.😆 🤣😆. Where did you get that from LMAO.

 

The only way IO were able to verify fraudulent divorce decrees was to get an embassy officer in the country to go trawl the local court records and that took a big hit when Trump the Con closed most overseas USCIS offices.

 

Of course the IO can get access to the records he used in his visa application at the embassy, however this OP is referring to a likely problematic (maybe fraudulent) divorce decree he had prepared for him likely recently  from home which has never entered Department of State records. Its veracity or otherwise can only be confirmed from the local office. In this case however apparently he got the dates mixed up and exposed himself.

 

You overestimate the abilities, resources and commitment of immigration officers here.

Yes with kids but honestly i paid someone to perfect my divorce decree back home not none to me that its wasn't real.

 

You have scored an own goal. This is the pinnacle of incompetence. Your chances of adjusting status are slim and none, and slim already headed out of town and boarded a plane back to Naija.

 

I predict you're going to spend a lot of money on lawyers who cannot help you, and will try various other means of adjusting status like claiming asylum all of which will most likely not come to fruition.

 

My advice is start saving the money you have been earning so that when that great day comes (and it almost certainly will) and ICE is sending you back, you at least have some dollars to show for your sojourn in the land of milk and honey.

Next time when you are about to submit fake documents to USCIS, pay attention. Because, you know, it's kind of important not to do that...

This is what I meant.

 

I technically did not mean that he's literally gonna unearth by ONLY digging in his computer . What I meant was, being from a fraudulent country, IO can contact his buddies down in Nigeria who would then do the dirty work for him - going to courts, neighbors,  former acquaintances etc. Hahahah 

 

Anyway, feel free to educate us more on this as you're from W.Africa. I'm always ready to learn.

I already answered that. Much easier said than done. The proof is the fact that there are hundreds of thousands and even millions of immigrants who successfully adjust with fraudulent documents.

 

The resources required to do that investigation are not trivial. Until very recently (with the rollout of google maps there), locating an address for example was not an easy task.

 

Most court record are not digitized/electronic etc and folded naming systems and archiving we haphazard and locating stuff is like the the proverbial needle in a haystack 😂. Nothing like in the USA, which conveniently allows immigrant from such countries to boldly fabricate evidence with little hope of being exposed.

 

The easiest best for the IO is when the immigrant sabotages their own case by having contraindications in documents USCIS/Department of State already possesses in their records at the embassy level etc.

... which is why people from some countries are spending forever in AP, and/or are denied when things look sketchy.  Do some people game the system, yes.  Is it getting harder - in my opinion, also yes.

People will continue to game the system or attempt to as long as mankind lives especially when there’s s perceived benefit. It is what it is.
