I don't know how to say this, but we have a big problem if our members have been engaged in immigration fraud. Personally, I think the only remedy is to own up and confess to KCC or the Embassy during the interview.
If you try to cover it up, how far do you think you can go to fool the Embassy. I keep thinking these Embassy guys who are engaged in an advanced, sophisticated war against terrorism are two steps ahead of any tricks we can cook-up.
Also openly detailing our frauds /tricks in this forum will only tarnish the Nigerian image further, since other people are reading what we write. I was on a forum on MSN and one of the posters claimed he was being owed millions of dollars after receiving all those '419' letters from "Central Bank of Nigeria".
For the guy who listed his niece on his forms, the only salvage is to legally adopt the girl as your daughter and see if the Embassy will accept a belated adoption. Don't back-date the adoption papers.
This green card thing is not do or die.
The guy has written the girls name and that is a mistake, he has done it and that is that, if he does not back it up he will loss the green card, if he wants an adoption process it is ok, but tell u what he will loss out, the choice is his.
pls trash this issue about sophistication and fraud. it is not peculiar to nigeria, Nigeria is a third world country and we can not be too sophisticated.
Fraud started from oyinbo land, am not encouraging it, but tell u what we are not as black as they paint us to be, they want us to fell dejected and always backward.
America is a law abiding country, u must abide when u get to america, does not mean that people dont break laws here, (so they are not saints) people do somany things to get here and they shape up when they get here. (good luck to them)
Their children do shop-lifting and commit all sorts of crimes. (including rape and murder), People drive in this country without insurance for up to 2 years, would u ever imagine that. When police pull u up, they ask u to get the insurance and u get to pay fine of max of $600, and that is that, it does not go into ur record or make u a criminal, people drivers licence get suspended and after paying fine and stuffs, u can get another one with the restrictions, it does not make u a criminal and does not stop u from driving, so many issues
There are well over 12 million illegal alliens in america, with mexico being 5o%, (they call them labour-intensive force) if that figure were Nigerians, it would have been in the first page of international news.
The government is aware that people have fake social security numbers and all sorts. (though they are doing something about it now)
This is an open forum and ment to encourage people, adoption is ok, if the guy has done it earlier, but since that is not the case, I beg do u know how many lies have been told about the war situation in Iraq.
Call it anything, I stand on my advice for the guy, good or bad, he stands the risk of being banned from entering the US, and here u stand talking about fraud. (that is not the situation here, this case is a simple one) Pls tell that to our leaders . Once u get the opportunity to be here as a green card holder it speaks volume. and opens doors,
Fine it should not be a do or die affair, but u need it. People come here with visiting visa, over stay and marry an 'akata' get their papers and off they settle down, (what do u call that, fraudiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing) oyinbo man is aware that people from developing world are not too straight, just like the black americans (just be clean). and dont over do things, so that u can make heaven
Am sorry I may be a bit harsh, but that is the truth
