Born in the USA (Sort of) VI

Let's examine once again the I-129 form which is used for H1-B and other work visas:

http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-129.pdf

     A cursory inspection reveals that this form asks a great number of questions, many of which are very intrusive.  Look at the requirements, for example, for an 'E' visa.  Not only does all of this information need to be provided on the form, the supporting documents must be provided as well.

    These documents, by the way, are also subject to scrutiny by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS").

    Which is the topic of this discussion.  All documents that are provided to the USCIS as part of a visa application also have to be true and correct.  The presentation of false documents to the USCIS is also visa fraud.  So, it is not only the answers on the Immigration forms that are subject to USCIS scrutiny; the documentation and evidence that is provided to the USCIS is also subject to the same level of scrutiny.  This is also a point where individuals or corporations attempting to obtain a visa for an individual (or an individual who is applying for such visa) must ensure that the documentation provided is true and correct.

   The submission of false documentation is part of Visa fraud which not only can lead to a visa or status being denied by Immigration, it can also potentially lead to criminal prosecution.

   (By the way, it is important to note that "visa" fraud of course does not refer to the credit card)

    So - it is important to remember that the documents submitted to Immigration must also be true and correct, not only the forms themselves.
