Immigration Benefit Fraud

Immigration benefit fraud occurs when individuals provide false information or documents to government agencies to illegally obtain or increase immigration benefits, such as visas, green cards, or citizenship. This includes activities like lying on applications, hiding relevant facts, or submitting fake documents. Such actions undermine the integrity of the immigration process, can pose security risks, and may lead to serious legal consequences, including denial of benefits, deportation, or criminal charges. Ensuring honesty and accuracy in all applications is vital to maintaining an equitable and secure immigration system.
