Hi, I have a friend the USCIS alleged to have committed fraud in getting her greencard 5 years ago. She was under derivative from her US citizen mom.
The rule said, while the application is pending, she is to remain unmarried. She did. She only filed for marriage license when her boyfriend was ready for marriage, 2 months after her green card was approved.
Incidentally, she has 2 children while her application was pending but never legally married.
While staying in Indonesia, her ID card and family card were erroneously printed as married. She has obtained the record from the civil office in Indonesia stating that she has never been married.
Indonesia does not recognize common law marriage, nor California where she has been residing.
On the Notice to Appear for removal proceeding, it says that the allegation was that she claimed she was single, when in fact she was married. Does USCIS has legal grounds for the allegation? She is distressed.
