Marriage Fraud

Marriage Fraud Lawyer

If you are being charged with marriage fraud you need to contact an experienced fraud defense lawyer immediately. The United States government prosecutes marriage fraud cases federally. Marriage fraud cases are prosecuted federally, by the United States government. Marriage fraud can take several forms and is essentially the act of entering into a marriage for personal gain rather than a genuine desire to enter into a sincere marital relationship. Marriage fraud is most often associated with obtaining immigration benefits. In the United States, marriage fraud for immigration purposes is punishable under INA §204(c)(1) and the Immigration Marriage Fraud Amendments of 1986.

Marriage fraud criminal penalties are severe and may include:

• A fine of up to $250,000
• Up to 5 years in federal prison
• Deportation
• Permanent ban against receiving future immigration status

Marriage fraud can be either unilateral or bilateral. In a unilateral marriage fraud, only one party is aware of the fraud and the fraud is against both the immigration service as well as the other party. The innocent party may file a lawsuit and/or annulment of the marriage. In a bilateral fraud, both parties are aware of it and both parties are subject to criminal penalties.
