Fraud, Marriage Fraud and False Testimony

This 90 minute audio seminar was originally presented June 2, 2011.

While honesty is the best policy, many clients chose other options at some point in the immigration process. All practitioners need to be aware of fraud and willful misrepresentation issues, including waiver options. In marriage cases, fraud takes on an even more damaging complexion. Document fraud and false testimony also can cause major problems. Attorneys should know how to spot these issues in cases and successfully challenge government findings in these difficult areas.
