1.
Identify separated spouses. Certain knowledge that a marriage is fraudulent and exists only to gain a residency for a foreign national is hard to come by. But one of the surest signs is when the spouses do not live together. A marriage in which one spouse, a foreign citizen, lives at another address should arouse particular suspicion of marriage fraud.
2.
Identify a suspicious marriage. Besides separated spouses, other indicators of a suspicious marriage include those between people of markedly different age, class, religion, culture or education.
3.
Report a fraudulent marriage to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (I.C.E.). Call I.C.E. at (866) 347-2423 with as much specific information as possible.
Tips & Warnings
*
Reporting a suspicious couple will likely lead to both spouses being interviewed by a fraud officer. If fraud is detected, the foreign national could be deported, and the case could result in criminal charges.
*
Reporting marriage fraud should not be done frivolously. Not only is it a waste of valuable resources, but it can potentially cause hardship for a legitimate couple. Not every unusual couple is engaged in a fraud.
