Texas - Nearly 100 charged in massive Green Card marriage scheme

[LastManStanding]

Authorities announced Monday that nearly 100 people have been indicted in a massive conspiracy in which immigrants paid as much as $70,000 to briefly marry a U.S. citizen and obtain a permanent resident card known as a “Green Card.”

The indictment, returned by a grand jury in Texas late last month, accuses 96 people of taking part in the Houston-based criminal organization, which created sham marriages between legal U.S. residents and aliens, mostly from Vietnam, for years.

The group, led by Ashley Yen Nguyen, would prepare fake wedding albums to make it appear as if the couple had an actual wedding ceremony, and not just a courthouse marriage, according to a news release by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which led the year-long investigation with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

 

“The indictment alleges the marriages involved in this conspiracy were shams because the spouses did not live together and did not intend to do so, contrary to the official documents and statements they submitted to USCIS,” the release states.

Nguyen, 53, worked with associates throughout Texas and Vietnam. Authorities said he would recruit U.S. citizens to act as petitioners in the sham marriages for a portion of the proceeds. Some of those petitioners even became recruiters themselves, according to the release.

The defendants are also accused of filing false tax and employment information to ensure authorities would approve the immigration forms.

Forty-seven people who were charged with marriage fraud could face up to five years in prison if convicted.
