Indian Citizen Pleads Guilty to Marriage Fraud in West Virginia

Indian Citizen Pleads Guilty to Marriage Fraud in West Virginia

Imagine someone from India came to the US on a special visa to work.

This person, Aakash Makwana, stayed in the US longer than his visa allowed.

To stay, he paid someone to marry him, pretending they were really in love, so he could get a Green card.

He made up fake papers to show they lived together, which was against the law.

When this plan didn't work, he tried to claim his marriage partner was mean to him.

He admitted he lied to stay in the US.

Both Makwana and his fake wife are in trouble with the law.
