A Bronx immigration lawyer gamed the system for years by having clients falsely claim they were abused by their own kids to fast-track their bids for legal status, federal prosecutors said Monday. Kofi Amankwaa and his son charged immigrant clients $6,000 a head to exploit the federal Violence Against Women Act by claiming they were victims of domestic abuse, which would expedite the migrants’ bid for legal residency in the US.

Two New York City men staged armed robberies at convenience stores and fast food joints across the United States to scheme immigration benefits, federal prosecutors said Friday. Rambhai Patel, 36, and Balwinder Singh, 39, were arrested on Dec. 13 and both charged with one count of conspiracy to commit visa fraud for their alleged plot, which allowed the “victims” of their robberies to apply for special immigration visas, Massachusetts prosecutors said.

As reported by the New York Post, you don’t even have to accuse a US citizen or permeant resident to reap the benefits of a U visa. A Kansas based illegal immigrant got her illegal ex boyfriend deported in a fit of pique and filed for a U visa.
