Marriage fraud investigations unit
A Marriage Fraud Investigations Unit is a specialized team within law enforcement or immigration agencies that examines cases where individuals are suspected of entering into marriages primarily to gain immigration benefits rather than genuine partnership. Their role involves verifying the authenticity of the relationship through interviews, evidence review, and surveillance. The goal is to prevent immigration fraud, ensuring that visas and citizenship are granted based on legitimate relationships, thereby maintaining the integrity of immigration processes and preventing abuse of the system.
