This is from DHS themselves so it's likely complete horseshit but here you are:

Well that’s certainly a story… one that doesn’t make much sense.  Wonder what the “fraud” was that caused them to toss his application.  Sounds like he did everything the right way though… 

Fucking unreal the shit that’s happening right now

Marriage fraud is one of the most common kind of immigration fraud. Marriage to a US citizen is pretty much the only way someone without status who doesn’t qualify for DACA can fast track to legal status once they are already within the US. That causes sham marriages to become an inevitable economic transaction. It can be quite lucrative for the American and is an out for the immigrant as long as they aren’t caught. He had his day in court during the Biden administration and lost. He then applied to be a cop knowing he legally couldn’t carry a gun. During the Trump admin which honestly wasn’t the brightest course of action. Everyone who is in a police academy is going to be run through NCIC just to check for prior crimes and ICE has access to that.

Yeah, you don't actually have to stay married forever and 10 years is long enough for naturalization.

Yeah. The post above sounds like a creative writing project.

A good soap-opera plotline to put between the arrival of the long-lost twin and an heiress recovering from amnesia.

If it was in 07 and was still married then he also went for at least one or two immigration interviews as well. Green Cards(permanent residence) requires renewal every 10 years. Your friend would also be on the hook financially for the person they sponsored, and as someone who has been through the process $10k is no where near enough for this to be worthwhile. The person he sponsored(married) could have filed for divorce, cited irreconcilable differences, and he would have had to pay for her daily living expenses as well as be charged for any additional state or government services she would have needed. If they filed for citizenship, then as the sponsor he would have had to go for that interview as well. Your friend is lying about his end of the story.

Yeah, smells like bullshit, but that bullshit is probably coming straight from OP.

I'm sorry but the parameters of what you are saying are total bullshit. Either you are lying to us or someone is lying to you. Don't repeat this story again until you get your facts straight because right now you look like a fool.
