Immigration Marriage made a few feet short of heaven.
Of the roughly 450,000 marriage based visas issued every year in the US, it is estimated that ⅓ of them are based on fraudulent marriages.
This show is for US citizens who find themselves having been duped into marriage by a foreign "spouse" simply for the spouse to get a green card. We deal with immigration marriage fraud issues on this show.
Hosted by John Sampson, CEO of CSI Consulting LLC, a retired Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent now in private consulting practice and Emilie Cortes, a victim of marriage fraud. .
Emilie and I begin discussing the hit TLC program 90-Day Fiancee and how this show romanticizes marriage fraud.

Episode 10 Why USCIS Ignores Reported Fraud
In this week's episode we will discuss USCIS's mission statement, that being a "customer service" agency where the customer is the non-citizen. The recent USCIS proposed rule change allowing for the filing of incomplete applications is just one more manifestation for making life easier for illegal aliens seeking the much sought after Employment Authorization Document or EAD also known as a "permiso". A recent Center for Immigration Studies explains all of this in detail.

Episode 6 Judicial and Political Bias and Corruption
Despite clear and convincing evidence of fraud in the inducement or totally fabricated allegations of domestic violence or other crimes, judges, prosecutors, law enforcement, the media, and politicians, simply turn a blind eye to all of it in order to protect immigrants at all costs, even if it means innocent Americans are imprisoned.
