Production Timeline Estimation for the Pilot I-130 Marriage-based IBFA The successful completion of the I-130 marriage-based Immigration Benefit Fraud Assessment requires our Field Operation staff to have sufficient time to conduct case review, systems check, interviews and site visit. In order to estimate a reasonable time line to complete the I-130 marriage-based IBFA, it is important to examine the normal production time line for USCIS to process the I-130 marriage-based petitions. IFRET generated the completion rate of all I-130 spousal petitions filed by USC in FY12 over a two year time period (see Table 1). Overall, within nine months of receiving the petitions, 87 percent of all I-130 spousal petitions filed by USC were adjudicated (see last column in table 1). By the end of one year, almost 92% of all cases have been …show more content…
IFRET will have three months to analyze the data for the study. Recommendation Below is a suggested list of target deadline to complete various tasks for the IBFA within 15 months from the time USCIS receives the sampled petitions. 1) SISO should aim to complete interviews within six month from the receipt date 2) Allow an additional three months for SISO to work on cases that requires Request for Evidence and second interviews 3) IO should conduct and complete administrative investigation within nine month from the receipt date unless SISO is still waiting for RFEs 4) IFRET will complete data analysis within three

The process of immigrating to the U.S. involves more than one pathway and extensive requirements.
There is an assessed 11 million illegal aliens that are living United States, and this population is projected to upturn by 500,000 yearly. Once a year, about 1 million people that are considered to be aliens are detained when they make the attempt to come in the United States unlawfully. Even though most of these foreigners arrive the United States for financial chances and family reunification, or they are avoiding civil trouble and political unrest, some are offenders, and some could possibly be terrorists. Every one of them is disrupting the United States' immigration laws. With that said, this paper will involve the case study of immigration enforcement and the circumstances around the issue.

Attached please find a Power Point presentation slide deck that we have prepared for the National Union Staff. We will provide an overview of the I-130 pilot Immigration Benefit Fraud Assessment (IBFA) (Slides A through D), the expected timeline to complete the pilot study (Slide E), and our expectations for officers who have volunteered to participate in the study(Slide F). We would end our presentation with a discussion on the best way to solicit volunteer immigration service officers to help adjudicate the selected study cases. Please distribute the material to your invitees.
To obtain a green card or immigrant visa, immigrants who do not have sufficient job skills turn to marriage. The problem with this idea is that people abuse it. Instead of marrying a person because they actually feel emotion towards them, they are marrying them to receive a green card and become a citizen. Although this may seem like a good idea at the start, there are consequences for both the immigrant and the U.S. citizen if caught. It’s just not worth the risk. The immigrant would end up back where they started and not have accomplished anything, as well as legal punishments for the citizen. General/Background.
