One-sided marriage fraud occurs when a foreign national attempts, conspires, or enters into a marriage to evade the immigration laws, deceiving their U.S. citizen spouse while exploiting marriage-based immigration benefits and exposing victims to lasting legal and financial harm.
Read the law →VAWA self-petitions let foreign nationals seek immigration benefits based on abuse allegations, bypassing marriage-based safeguards. Though intended as relief, the system can be exploited through false claims, eroding antifraud protections and leaving U.S. spouses exposed.
Read the law →I-751 waivers allow conditional residents to remove conditions without joint filing by a U.S. citizen spouse. Created as narrow relief, waivers are used routinely, weakening antifraud safeguards and enabling unilateral permanent residence without spousal participation.
Read the law →U visas allow illegal aliens to pursue a path to lawful status based on unproven criminal allegations, often relying on certifications that sanctuary jurisdictions routinely rubber-stamp without meaningful investigation, enabling fraudulent claims and bypassing evidentiary and prosecutorial safeguards.
Read the law →T visas allow illegal aliens to pursue a path to lawful status based on unproven allegations of human trafficking, often relying on self-reported claims and minimal verification, enabling fraudulent applications and bypassing meaningful evidentiary and prosecutorial safeguards.
