Q: Is it advisable to cheat American immigrant visa by fake marriage? Why?

A fake marriage with an American citizen is called a "fake marriage" or a "shameful marriage" in America. If, during the interview process of applying for permanent residence, immigration officials find that the purpose of foreign spouses marrying American citizens or permanent residents is to obtain the right of abode in the United States, they can judge this marriage as a "fake marriage". Before 1996, foreign spouses who get married under false pretenses will be included in the scope of expulsion, and those who get married under false pretenses will not be punished in the United States. However, in the immigration law of 1996, American men and women involved in fake marriage will also be prosecuted for federal fraud. In view of the strict examination by the Immigration Bureau and the serious consequences brought to both parties after the fake marriage is ruled, this method is not desirable. Although the applicant successfully defrauded the American immigrant visa and obtained a green card through fake marriage, the US Immigration Bureau will have relevant records, and the applicant will face the dilemma that his personal integrity will be questioned when living in the United States. It will also be affected when applying for mortgage, bank loan or other applications. Therefore, it is not recommended that applicants defraud American immigrant visas in this way.

American marriage immigrant visa applicants can only obtain an immigrant visa after obtaining the approval of the visa officer in the face-to-face interview. Usually, face-to-face interviews have three results: passing, being asked to supplement supporting materials or being dismissed.
