Immigration fraud schemes
Immigration fraud schemes involve illegal activities aimed at gaining immigration benefits through deceitful means. This can include fake marriages, where individuals marry solely for visas, or submitting false documents, like forged work permits or identity papers. Some schemes exploit people seeking a better life, charging exorbitant fees for fake promises of legal status. Others may involve "immigration consultants" who offer fraudulent services. Engaging in these schemes can lead to severe legal consequences, including deportation and banning from future entry. Protecting oneself from fraud requires caution and verification of any immigration-related advice or services.
