Marriage Fraud is about as bad as it gets

In immigration terms, is it though? Isn’t there a waiver available? (Though I guess the attorney would have mentioned it. Maybe.)

(vs there being no waiver for claiming ti be a citizen, for example)

From an Immigration perspective I think of it as one down from False claim to USC, but I think that is theoretical

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

The only marriage fraud /sham marriage waiver available is while in removal proceedings…but once that battle is lost, there are no waivers …it’s a Forever Bar. Note VAWA is also not exempt…

Can I Get a Waiver for Marriage Fraud?

You can apply for a section 237(a) (1) (H) waiver if found guilty of marriage fraud and deemed inadmissible. However, this provision doesn’t cover a new immigrant visa petition or any subsequent petition, but a chance to waive and avoid removal proceedings.

Hi there to everybody. I was wondering if somebody would know if my spouse could apply for the DV visa in order to increase my chances. The thing is that my spouse is a US citizen and I see that in the DV visa entry the US is listed. I am not sure how would that work, If somebody knows please let me know. Thanks

Why would a U.S. citizen need or be eligible for a visa to the US?   Do you know what the purpose of a visa is?
