Michael Fraser was convicted that he illegally obtained citizenship and underwent the naturalization process, abusing evidence.
According to court records, in 2007, Frazier, a Jamaican citizen, paid a US citizen between $8 and $000 to enter into a sham marriage to illegally obtain a green card and subsequently citizenship.
Due to the fictitious marriage, Fraser received a green card, and in 2013, he became a US citizen. Approximately two months after receiving a passport in the United States, Fraser filed for divorce and soon married the mother of his child, also with the citizenship of Jamaica. Then Fraser filed immigration documentation so that the spouse from Jamaica would receive legal permanent residence in the United States.
While reviewing Fraser’s application for a spouse from Jamaica for permanent residence, a USCIS employee found various discrepancies that eventually resulted in fraud detection.
In particular, the officer noted that Fraser’s second spouse claimed that she lived with him at the time when Fraser claimed that he was married to his previous American wife. In addition, the officer discovered that Fraser and his second spouse had a joint child who was born a year before Fraser’s fictitious marriage, and which Frazier did not mention in his documentation in order to become a permanent resident and a US citizen.
The case was transferred to USCIS US National Security Service Immigration Officers (FDNS), who worked closely with ICE agents, to investigate the fraudulent scheme.
10 July 2018, the court will determine the sentence.
