The legal is competing against the illegals. Interesting.

I did informed USCIS of my wife's new address when she got here via form AR-11. I also updated my contacts with the RMV, and USPS. If they get suspicious, they can come to see that my underwear is mixed in with my wifes. TMI. Sorry.

I don't think anyone posting on VJ would be involved in a scam like this. I seem to recall at least one other bust like this recently. The USCs in question are fully aware of the scam and not being used for a GC - they receive money in exchange for playing 'the devoted spouse'. Both parties are scamming the .gov. This is not the sort of scam you read about in the Effects of Family Changes forum where the USC is duped by the petitioner.

A few years ago I had a bizarre request from a USC 'friend' to get into a fake marriage to bring a BUDDHIST MONK(!!!!) from Nepal into the USA. No money involved, she was just asking me to do a 'favor' for a fellow student(we all belong to the same lineage). Obviously she had NO FRIGGIN' CLUE about the complexity and cost of the process and no way of knowing that the KTM Embassy would see through it so quickly that heads would spin. We have really had nothing to do with each other since then...
