Charged for fake marriages

SANTA ANA, Calif. – An Orange County couple and their daughter were arrested Wednesday on charges of arranging fake marriages for more than 20 foreigners seeking ways to remain in the country, authorities said.

Ajit Bhargava (ah-JEET bar-GAH-vah), his wife Nisha (NEE-sha) Bhargava, 56, and their daughter Runjhun (Roon-joon) Bhargava, 30, were arrested early in the morning at their home in Yorba Linda and are charged with conspiracy to commit visa fraud, federal prosecutors said.

Authorities said the Bhargavas ran immigration services company MPEagle Consultants in Cerritos, Calif., and charged as much as $60,000 to arrange bogus marriages for foreigners who came to the country on visas, mostly from India.

Authorities said the Bhargavas used the same witnesses, and sometimes, the same U.S. citizen spouse, on multiple green card applications, and had the couple take photographs in different locations wearing different outfits to make it look like they had a relationship.

 

Sounds like they were raking in some cash though, I ain't mad at them for trying to hustle lol

 

Where's appiah? Isn't it about time for him to come in and "advocate" for them to work the system illegally?? :smt090

 

I had a cowrker from Pakistan offer the same thing. Seriously I don't blame them and I think everyone wins in that situation. Lets face it marriage is a joke and seeing how the economy is I wish someone would offer me ten gs to do that shit(just joking incase federal prosecuters happen to stumble upon this lol))

 

Yes i don't see anything wrong in marrying and getting papers legally even if you have to pay. Are you aware Portia de Rossi married Metcalfe for a green card? and do you know a lot of"white" people marry for green cards ? A lot of Australians and Europeans marry for green cards but people assume only Latinos and Africans and Asians marry for green cards. FUCKING HYPOCRITICAL PIECES OF SHIT i tell ya. The Native Americans are the only people who have the right to be mad at illegal immigrants because the land was theirs before Caucasians came to America and sidelined them now you wanna secure borders.Bullshit:x
Waiting for Jordan C, i have one word which starts with c in mind

 

But for the just joking part i would have said you were a fucking hypocrite

 

Why am i not surprised you don't see anything wrong with it.

You'd be hopping mad if that shit was happening in Ghana.

 

Maybe I happen to have a very cynical circle of friends, but I see so many people get married, not because they love each other, but because they want tax breaks or their partners insurance. In terms of ethics, I don't think there is a big difference between that and getting married for papers. People use the institution to get what they want. I know maybe 4 or 5 Americans that have gotten married or entered a civil union to stay in France, and I'd be lying if I said it never crossed my mind. When your desperate to stay somewhere, you're gonna do what you gotta do.

Also, if the people entering these marriages are going to try to stay in the country, regardless of if they have papers or not, getting a green card and the right to work will allow them to be more productive citizens.

 

I had a friend approach me a few years about marrying his aunt (who was around 28-29 at the time) for her visa. They offered something like 3k-5k initially and more later for 3 years, I think. I gave it some serious thought (I had no plans on getting married just yet anyway) and asked about it on another forum and everyone warned me not to do it and what the risks were. Yeah, no thanks.

 

I've said it once and I'll say it again. Any system that fails half the time is a failure.
Half of all marriages end in divorce not counting for the people who either stay together for the kids or financial reasons.
It's very unrealistic to believe the person I thought was for me at 27 is going to be the person for me at 42. Marriage licenses should be renawable like drivers' licenses. It makes more sense.

 

.. and we all knew this was how you felt about marriage, yet we all jumped in and congratulated you on your engagement. I feel like such a sucker

 

You should I got you fuckers good lol

 

You shoulda heard the discussion I had with FG after I read your thread. We were like "naaaaaaaahhhhh, must be bullshit" hahaha

 

Funny thing is if I loved someone enough I'd do it for them but it wouldn't be something I'd do for me. Men often lose in that situation.

 

you do know that to many women, the word 'cunt' to them, is like calling you a nigga, right? Just hits right to the bone. if you wouldn't want someone calling you that, why would you say something as offensive like that to her?

 

I don't know why it bugs them the way it does. The shit carries no real historical weight to it. People just love being offended.

I would love if someone could explain the reason why it bugs women so much.
