姑姑与担任美国空军的侄子因移民欺诈被捕
发布日期 2026年9月2日
USCIS的调查导致一名科罗拉多州女子及其在美国空军服役的侄子被控合谋实施移民欺诈。检察官称,姑姑在Form I-130申请中谎称自己是侄子的生母,以帮助他获得绿卡,而侄子后来在入籍申请中就此作出虚假陈述。
要点
- Myra Paule Schulenburg与其侄子John Paule Rivera被控合谋实施移民欺诈。
- Rivera还被控在宣誓下作虚假陈述,向联邦机构作虚假陈述,非法取得公民身份以及滥用公民身份证明文件。
- 检方称,Schulenburg提交了一份Form I-130申请,谎称自己是Rivera的生母,并附上一份经篡改的菲律宾出生证明,使Rivera因此获得永久居民身份。
- Rivera于2022年10月成为美国公民,此前他在入籍申请中否认曾作出任何虚假陈述。
- Rivera后来为其亲生母亲提交申请并附上真实出生证明,USCIS发现该申请存在矛盾,从而引发此次调查。
- 目前指控仅为控方指控,尚未定罪。Schulenburg最高可被判处五年监禁,Rivera最高可被判处十年监禁,并可能被剥夺公民身份。

密苏里州堪萨斯城。美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）在一项调查中发挥了关键作用，该调查导致一名姑母及其侄子因参与移民欺诈计划而被捕。美国密苏里州西区联邦检察官办公室宣布了这些指控。
KANSAS CITY, Mo.— U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services was instrumental in an investigation resulting in the arrest of an aunt and her nephew for their involvement in an immigration fraud scheme. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Missouri announced the charges.
现年46岁的迈拉·保莱·舒伦堡（Myra Paule Schulenburg）和她现年30岁的侄子约翰·保莱·里维拉（John Paule Rivera），二人均来自科罗拉多州，被控共谋实施移民欺诈。里维拉还被指控在移民文件上进行虚假宣誓陈述、向联邦机构作虚假陈述、非法取得公民身份以及滥用公民身份证明文件。
Myra Paule Schulenburg, 46, and her nephew John Paule Rivera, 30, both of Colorado, were charged with conspiracy to commit immigration fraud. Rivera also was charged with making false statements under oath on immigration documents, making false statements to a federal agency, unlawfully procuring citizenship, and misuse of citizenship evidence.
舒伦堡出生于菲律宾，后来成为归化的美国公民。里维拉于2017年3月持J1交流访问学者签证进入美国。几个月后，舒伦堡向USCIS提交了I-130表格，即外籍亲属申请表，声称自己是里维拉的母亲，以便他能够成为合法永久居民。她在申请表中附上了一份经过篡改的菲律宾出生证明，作为二人关系的证明，并提交至USCIS位于密苏里州李夏镇（Lee's Summit）的国家福利中心（National Benefits Center）进行处理。舒伦堡的申请获得批准，里维拉由此成为合法永久居民。
Schulenburg was born in the Philippines and later became a naturalized U.S. citizen. Rivera entered the United States on a J1 exchange visitor visa in March 2017. A few months later, Schulenburg submitted a Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, to USCIS claiming to be Rivera’s mother so he could become a lawful permanent resident. She attached an altered birth certificate from the Philippines to the petition as proof of their relationship and submitted it for processing to USCIS’ National Benefits Center in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Schulenburg’s petition was approved and Rivera became a lawful permanent resident.
成为合法永久居民后，里维拉加入了美国空军，并在密苏里州惠特曼空军基地（Whiteman Air Force Base）驻扎期间申请成为归化美国公民。在其入籍申请中，里维拉明确否认曾向任何美国政府官员提供虚假、欺诈或误导性的信息或文件，或为获取移民利益而撒谎。他在伪证处罚条款下签署了该入籍申请，并提交至USCIS国家福利中心进行处理。由于这一虚假陈述，里维拉的入籍申请获得批准，他于2022年10月11日成为美国公民。
After becoming a lawful permanent resident, Rivera joined the U.S. Air Force and applied to become a naturalized U.S. citizen while stationed at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. In his application for naturalization, Rivera specifically denied ever giving any U.S. government official information or documentation that was false, fraudulent, or misleading, or lying to gain immigration benefits. He signed that application for naturalization under penalty of perjury and submitted it to USCIS’ National Benefits Center for processing. As a result of that false testimony, Rivera’s application for naturalization was approved and he became a U.S. citizen on Oct. 11, 2022.
成为美国公民后，里维拉向USCIS为其亲生母亲提交了外籍亲属申请表，以便她能够成为合法永久居民。他在该申请表中附上了自己真实的菲律宾出生证明，作为二人关系的证明。USCIS对该申请提出了质疑，由此引发了导致上述逮捕的调查。
After becoming a U.S. citizen, Rivera submitted a Petition for Alien Relative to USCIS for his actual mother so she could become a lawful permanent resident. He attached his authentic birth certificate from the Philippines to that petition as proof of their relationship. USCIS flagged his petition, resulting in the investigation that led to the arrests.
起诉书中所载的指控仅为指控，并非有罪的证据。
The charges contained in the indictment are accusations and are not evidence of guilt.
舒伦堡因共谋罪名最高可面临五年监禁。里维拉因部分移民相关指控最高可面临十年监禁，且其公民身份还可能被剥夺。
Schulenburg faces a sentence of up to five years in prison on the conspiracy charge. Rivera faces up to 10 years in prison on some of the immigration charges and also could be denaturalized.
本案由美国移民及海关执法局（ICE）国土安全调查处、USCIS国家福利中心以及美国空军特别调查处共同调查。
