Announcement: Participants of Large Scale U.S. Marriage Fraud Scheme Indicted

A U.S. federal grand jury in Houston, Texas issued a 206 count indictment involving a massive marriage fraud scheme on April 30, 2019.

According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a total of 96 individuals were involved in a suspected criminal enterprise designed to create sham marriages between individuals in Texas and Vietnam. The scheme allegedly led by Ashley Yen Nguyen, also known as Duyen of Houston purported the following:

Duyen received $50,000- $70,000 from Vietnamese individuals marrying U.S. citizens.
Agreements were prorated with suspects paying an additional amount for each immigration benefit received.
Duyen and other suspects allegedly recruited U.S. citizens to engage in sham marriages as petitioners who received a portion of the proceeds from Vietnamese spouses.

“Marriage fraud is a serious crime,” commented USCIS Houston District Director Tony Bryson. “The indictment reveals how successful our relationships are with our law enforcement and intelligence partners when it comes to investigating marriage fraud.”

Director Byson continued noting that people enter into sham marriages to work around U.S. immigration laws.

What is Advance Parole and How is it Different from a Re-Entry Permit?

Foreign nationals who arrive in the United States as nonimmigrants and then file for adjustment of status may also file for advance parole in conjunction with their Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”). Advance Parole differs from a Re-Entry Permit because while both use the same form; Form I-131, Application for Travel Documents, Parole Documents, and Arrival/Departure Records, USCIS issues Advance Parole to those seeking to temporarily depart the United States before their lawful permanent residence is approved. A re-entry permit is for those who are already lawful permanent residents and are looking to travel outside the United States for a short period without abandoning their permanent resident status. An example of a foreign national who would be eligible for Advance Parole is somebody who entered the U.S. on a K-1 fiancé visa. After arriving and marrying

What is a Form I-212 Following Deportation From the United States?

If you have been deported from the United States and looking to re-enter, you may be eligible to file a Form I-212, Application for Permission to Reapply for Admission into the United States After Deportation or Removal (“Form I-212”). The Form I-212, which is submitted and adjudicated by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) is required for those who are seeking to enter the U.S. while they still have a re-entry bar after they have been deported. The Form I-212 is often filed in conjunction with a Form I-601, Waiver of Inadmissibility, which is used when a foreign national is found to be inadmissible based on previous criminal or immigration violations. However, unlike a Form I-601 in which the standard of review focuses on “extreme hardship” to the qualifying U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, if the foreign national is prohibited from being allowed to immigrate to the

“Class A or B (TB) )…requires attn of USPHS at POE ” Annotation On Your U.S. Immigrant Visa

Please note that your immigrant visa has an annotation “Class A or B (TB)…requires attn of USPHS at POE.” This notation refers to a finding related to tuberculosis (“TB”), a communicable disease of public health significance. During the required medical examination, the panel physician assessed whether you may have Class A or Class B tuberculosis. Class A TB applies if you have active, infectious tuberculosis. If so, you are generally inadmissible to the United States until you have completed treatment and no longer pose a public health risk. Class B TB applies if you have a history of tuberculosis, evidence of latent TB infection, or findings suggestive of non-infectious TB that require further evaluation or follow-up. The annotation “requires attn of USPHS at POE” means that you must be referred to the U.S. Public Health Service (“USPHS”) at the U.S. port of entry for further medical review or instructions. Upon
