Marcialito “Mars” Biol Benitez, 48, was the alleged ringleader of the Los Angeles “agency” that paired US citizens with foreign national clients and staged weddings filled with prop decorations and online officiants, according to the Department of Justice Benitez and his ten cohorts would then submit fake wedding pictures with false documents and petitions to US Citizenship and Immigration Services, and coach the newlyweds through interviews with immigration officials, prosecutors alleged. https://nypost.com/2022/04/07/california-suspects-arranged-400-sham-marriages-for-green-cards-feds/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elkski Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) Wouldn't this need 400 single people willing to get married? And facing risk of fraud for how much$$. The fee it says was 20-30 k total so what did the fake spouses get? I was offered 50k by a Vietnam woman I chatted with on a dating site.

bbko Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Many years back when Clark Air Base was open in the Philippines, my friend told me he was offered $5,000 US to marry a filipina and once the paperwork would clear, he would never have to see her again.
