hi all... i know somebody who wants to bring his family here. he has been here for 13 years (now just starting to think about naturalization). he has a problem though... he lied on his green card application saying he was single when really he was married. i guess this is more common than i think. most likely he did this to speed up the process. what he would like to find out is the consequences of this now that he wants to apply for K3 for his wife and kids. how will this affect his chances of getting K3 visa approved without complications?

i told him to go ahead and apply for naturalization. please give me some input on this.

thank you!

Once you get your citizenship you could file to bring your wife here. Any other members takes like forever (more than 20 years).

It might be good for your friend to consult with a GOOD immigration lawyer. Someone who really knows immigration. Since he lied on his original green card application, he will have to get good info on the repercussions.

Definitely time for a lawyer.

The obvious answer is that his GC will be rescinded and he will be deported.

I *so* agree.

dnaleri: filing for natz is going to bring all this to light. The consequence is just as Boiler says. Does your friend really want to face this alone?
