USCIS assisted in an investigation that resulted in the convictions of Jung Hoon Song, a South Korean national, and Bonnie Jo C. Quichocho of Guam for participating in a fraudulent marriage scheme to obtain lawful permanent resident status for Song. According to the investigation, the couple married in December 2011 and repeatedly submitted immigration petitions, including Forms I-130 and I-751, falsely claiming that they lived together in Guam. In reality, investigators determined they never resided together before or after the marriage, and the false representations were made solely to secure immigration benefits. Song obtained conditional permanent resident status in 2012 based on these fraudulent filings before the couple later divorced in 2018. Song pleaded guilty to visa fraud and was sentenced to one year of probation, fined $500, ordered to pay a $100 special assessment, and directed to report to immigration authorities for possible removal proceedings. Quichocho pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit illegal entry by false or misleading representation and received six months of probation, a $500 fine, and a $100 special assessment. The investigation was conducted by Homeland Security Investigations and USCIS's Fraud Detection and National Security Directorate, with USCIS emphasizing that it will continue to aggressively investigate and prosecute marriage fraud to protect the integrity of the U.S. immigration system.
