Fake Passports
Hello all,
My friend had a tourist visa and has been living in the US illegally for over 15 years. She is about to apply for AOS through her husband who is a USC. During our conversation on the AOS procedure, she told me that she entered the US with a fake passport meaning: My friend is a citizen of country A, she was living in country B and knew someone at the Passport office, that person issued a passport from country B to my friend since it was easier to get a visa to the US if you were from country B. She applied for a visa with the Passport from country B and entered the US with that passport. Now, shes about to apply for her green card, what are the implications of her actions? I never heard of a case like this, and didnt even know it was possible. Obviously when shes applying I guess she will submit information from her real passport from country A, I dont know however how thats gonna fly. Any ideas? Thanks
She will be deported and banned for life once USCIS finds out about the fake passport.
It will be interesting to see how she explains to the interviewer how she got citizenship of country B after being born in country A (assuming she didnt also get a fake birth certificate or citizenship certificate from B). Im surprised that the embassy didnt pick up on the discrepancy.

Beats me how they didnt find out as well, and she started the AOS application with a lawyer and the lawyer didnt say anything, I think the lawyer didnt notice it. Im thinking she might be able to get away with it since its not been noticed this far, really bizarre! If they just focus on her new passport, they might not notice it but I dont know.
