Episode 16 VAWA Continued

Emilie and I begin discussing the hit TLC program 90-Day Fiancee and how this show romanticizes marriage fraud. 

Let's welcome Emilie as the new Co-Host of the show. We'll be discussing the GAO Report that is highly critical of USCIS' lack of fraud prevention. You can read the report here: https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-19-676

In this episode, Emilie and I discuss VAWA and how it was supposed to help abused immigrants and how its been hijacked by scammers to get a green card by throwing the US citizen squarely under the bus, leaving the US citizen with no recourse. 

In this episode, we go over Emilie's Divorce judgment and discuss how the judge used the I-864 Affidavit of Support to ensure the "immigrant" was not harmed, at Emilie's expense. 

We continue with Emilie this week, exploring possible fixes for the I-864 Affidavit of Support. 

Last week, Emilie appeared on the show to tell us her story. This week she continues with her experiences with her immigration attorney who didn’t do her any favors, and how the I-864 has come to pay her a visit.

This week an actual victim of immigration marriage fraud tells her story. Meet Emilie from Oregon. 

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.  

We discuss Michael J. Maxwell's testimony before Congress in July of 2006, and how much corruption there is within USCIS and the level of mismanagement ignoring National Security and Public Safety concerns when approving aliens for green cards and naturalization. 

This is a continuation from last week's episode where we discuss former USCIS OSI Director Michael J. Maxwell's damning testimony before Congress in April of 2006. This problem of corruption and gross mismanagement of USCIS has been going on from when it was first formed in March of 2003 and continues on through today.
