11人被控涉嫌实施数百万美元的假结婚骗局
11 accused of multimillion-dollar sham marriage scheme
纽约消息,美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）在今日公开的一份起诉书中发挥了关键作用,该起诉书指控11名个人在十余年间合谋策划了1,000余起假结婚案件。据称,这些婚姻使外国公民，主要是中华人民共和国公民，得以通过欺诈手段获得移民身份。根据起诉书，部分当事人为每桩假结婚支付高达10万美元的费用。
NEW YORK – U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services played a key role in the indictment unsealed today charging 11 individuals with conspiring, over the course of more than a decade, to orchestrate more than 1,000 sham marriages. The marriages allegedly enabled foreign nationals, primarily citizens of the People’s Republic of China, to fraudulently obtain immigration status. Some individuals paid up to $100,000 per sham marriage, according to the indictment.
司法部长托德·布兰奇（Todd Blanche）表示：“本届司法部正在全力铲除各领域的欺诈行为，包括我们的移民体系。今天被捕的这些人据称策划了精心设计的骗局，企图通过假结婚为外国公民非法获取公民身份。此类骗局是对美国及其法律的蓄意冒犯，在特朗普政府执政期间绝不会被容忍。”
“This Department of Justice is rooting out fraud everywhere, including in our immigration system,” said Attorney General Todd Blanche. “The individuals who were arrested today allegedly orchestrated elaborate schemes to illegally obtain citizenship for foreign nationals through sham marriages. Schemes like this are a deliberate affront to the United States and our laws and will not be tolerated under the Trump Administration.”
美国公民及移民服务局局长约瑟夫·B·埃德洛（Joseph B. Edlow）表示：“任何企图通过撒谎、欺骗或盗窃手段获取合法移民身份的人，都对美国的国家安全构成直接威胁。美国公民及移民服务局正在积极打击假结婚骗局，以及从中牟利的犯罪组织和主谋。美国公民及移民服务局将继续揭露欺诈行为，捍卫法治，确保移民身份只授予真正符合资格的人。”
“Anyone willing to lie, cheat or steal their way to legal immigration status is a direct threat to America's national security. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is aggressively pursuing marriage fraud schemes and the criminal organizations and ringleaders who profit from them. USCIS will continue to expose fraud, defend the rule of law, and ensure immigration status is reserved for those who truly qualify," said USCIS Director Joseph B. Edlow.

根据起诉书，自至少2016年起至2026年7月止，被告人经营了一个覆盖全国及国际的假结婚网络，安排外国公民（主要是中华人民共和国公民）与美国公民之间的假结婚。该网络主要设于纽约市，但据称也在美国各地及海外安排假结婚，包括中国、康涅狄格州、佛罗里达州、佐治亚州、肯塔基州、马萨诸塞州、宾夕法尼亚州、田纳西州以及瓦努阿图。
According to the indictment, from at least 2016 through July 2026, the defendants operated a nationwide and international marriage fraud network that arranged sham marriages between foreign nationals, primarily citizens of the People’s Republic of China, and U.S. citizens. Based principally in New York City, the network allegedly also arranged sham marriages throughout the United States and overseas, including in China, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Vanuatu.
美国纽约南区联邦检察官杰米·麦克唐纳（Jamie McDonald）表示：“据指控，被告人及其同谋经营了一个覆盖全国及国际、涉案金额达数百万美元的假结婚骗局，利用参与者滥用美国移民法律以谋取私利。今天的逮捕行动摧毁了美国历史上被起诉的最大规模假结婚骗局之一的核心组成部分。正如本次起诉所表明的那样，我们及执法合作伙伴将坚定不移地追究那些企图腐蚀和滥用我国合法移民体系的人。”
“The defendants and their co-conspirators allegedly operated a nationwide and international, multimillion-dollar marriage fraud scheme, using participants to abuse United States immigration laws for their own profit,” said U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald for the Southern District of New York. “Today’s arrests have dismantled a central component of one of the largest marriage fraud schemes charged in United States history. As this prosecution shows, we and our law enforcement partners will relentlessly pursue those seeking to corrupt and exploit our nation’s lawful immigration system.”
国土安全调查局（Homeland Security Investigations）代理执行助理局长约翰·康登（John Condon）表示：“据指控，这一持续十年之久的骗局将假结婚变成了一种国际化的商业模式，安排了无数起假结婚，并致使数百份欺诈性绿卡申请被提交至美国公民及移民服务局。通过国土安全特别工作组，国土安全调查局及其合作伙伴将继续摧毁破坏法治、滥用联邦法律并从欺诈中牟利的犯罪网络。”
“As alleged, this decade-long scheme turned marriage fraud into an international business model arranging countless sham marriages and causing hundreds of fraudulent Green Card applications to be submitted to United States Citizenship and Immigration Services,” said Acting Executive Associate Director John Condon of Homeland Security Investigations. “Through the Homeland Security Task Force, HSI and our partners will continue to dismantle criminal networks that undermine the rule of law, exploit federal laws, and profit from fraud.”
该网络包括负责监督整个骗局并物色外国公民客户的“操盘手”；负责寻找愿意配合的美国公民并确保其持续参与的“招募人员”；以及负责准备移民文件并协调向美国公民及移民服务局提交欺诈性绿卡申请的“助理人员”。该骗局还依赖婚姻主持人、律师、报税员、保险提供商及其他服务提供者的配合。
The network included facilitators who oversaw the scheme and identified foreign-national customers; recruiters who found willing U.S. citizens and helped ensure their continued participation; and assistants who prepared immigration paperwork and coordinated the submission of fraudulent Green Card applications to USCIS. The scheme also relied on marriage officiants, attorneys, tax preparers, insurance providers, and other service providers.
外国公民向中介支付高达约10万美元的费用,以获得虚假婚姻及协助取得合法永久居民身份。据称,中介随后向参与的美国公民支付高达约3万美元的费用,通常按绿卡申请流程中的各个阶段分期支付,并向招募人员支付每招募一名公民高达约5000美元的佣金。被告及其共谋者招募了数百名美国公民参与虚假婚姻。
Foreign nationals paid facilitators as much as approximately $100,000 for a sham marriage and assistance obtaining lawful permanent resident status. Facilitators, in turn, allegedly paid participating U.S. citizens as much as approximately $30,000, generally in installments tied to milestones in the Green Card application process, and paid recruiters commissions of as much as approximately $5,000 for each citizen recruited. The defendants and their co-conspirators recruited hundreds of U.S. citizens to enter into sham marriages.

被告通过将外国公民与美国公民配对实施该欺诈行为,双方当事人通常在领取结婚证之前才初次见面,被告安排虚假婚礼仪式,并摆拍设计照片,以使这些婚姻看起来真实合法。以下为部分实例,其中包括一张在中国举行的虚假婚姻的照片:
The defendants carried out the fraud by pairing foreign nationals with U.S. citizens, who often met for the first time immediately before obtaining a marriage license, arranging sham wedding ceremonies, and staging photographs designed to make those marriages appear legitimate. Some examples are below, including a photograph of a sham marriage that took place in China:

在仪式结束后,该计划的参与者炮制证据以使婚姻显得真实,例如摆拍更多照片、开设联合财务及水电账户、提交联合纳税申报表,以及购买保险单。被告及其共谋者随后准备并提交包含重大虚假陈述的绿卡申请,并在需要接受美国公民及移民服务局(USCIS)面谈时,指导婚姻参与者如何隐瞒其关系的真实性质,并向移民官员提供虚假答复。
After the ceremonies, scheme participants manufactured evidence to make the marriages appear genuine, such as staging additional photographs, opening joint financial and utility accounts, filing joint tax returns, and obtaining insurance policies. The defendants and their co-conspirators then prepared and submitted Green Card applications containing materially false statements and, when interviews with USCIS were required, coached the marriage participants on how to conceal the true nature of their relationships and provide false answers to immigration officers.
据称,被告导致至少数百份欺诈性绿卡申请及相关证明文件被提交给美国公民及移民服务局(USCIS)。根据该计划的规模和持续时间判断,据信被告的网络已从寻求合法永久居民身份的外国公民处收取了数千万美元。
The defendants allegedly caused at least hundreds of fraudulent Green Card applications and supporting documents to be submitted to USCIS. Based on the scale and duration of the scheme, the defendants’ network is believed to have collected tens of millions of dollars from foreign nationals seeking lawful permanent resident status.
在被告被逮捕之时,执法人员在布鲁克林日落公园及皇后区法拉盛的多处地点执行了搜查令。
At the time the defendants were arrested, law enforcement officers executed search warrants at multiple locations in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, and Flushing, Queens.
每名被告均被指控犯有一项共谋实施婚姻欺诈和移民欺诈罪,若罪名成立,最高可判处五年监禁,以及一项共谋教唆外国人非法居留在美国境内罪,最高可判处十年监禁。
The defendants have each been charged with one count of conspiracy to commit marriage fraud and immigration fraud, which, if convicted, carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, and one count of conspiracy to encourage the unlawful residence of aliens in the United States, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
