Marriage...*

Image result for chinese marriage fraud

The groom was a U.S. citizen strapped for cash.
The bride was Chinese and in search of a green card.
One month after their first meeting, they tied the knot at Dynasty Wedding Studio in Temple City. Among the guests were his boyfriend and her husband.

Jason Shiao, 65, and Lynn Leung, 43, are suspected of orchestrating more than 70 fraudulent immigration applications over nearly a decade. The two allegedly commanded sums as high as $50,000 from Chinese clients hoping to obtain legal immigration status.

The father-daughter team would help stage the weddings and honeymoons complete with photo shoots tend to the proper paperwork and coach the couples on how to appear legitimate. 

They had phony law firm. Because of that professional face on their organization, they were able to charge more.”

At least 23 U.S. citizens admitted to being a part of the scheme that included referral bonuses for those who could bring in a new potential spouse.
Staged wedding photos and bogus honeymoons during which the couple would not even stay in the same room were standard practice. Meanwhile Shiao and Leung went to work creating fraudulent marriage certificates, tax returns, bank statements and leases, authorities alleged.
          Just a thought.
