A woman who masterminded of one of the largest marriage fraud conspiracies in U.S. history was sentenced to 10 years in prison and ordered to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines on Thursday.
Her sentence comes after she pleaded guilty on Nov. 5, 2020 to conspiracy to engage in marriage fraud, mail fraud, immigration fraud, money laundering, and making false statements in a tax return.According to court records, Nguyen ran her scheme out of the Southwest Houston area but had associates throughout Texas and Vietnam. Some American citizens acted as recruiters and were routinely paid about $200 for the role in the scheme.
Nguyen would charge Vietnamese nationals anywhere between $50,000 to $70,000 to marry an American husband or wife in order to fraudulently obtain permanent resident status. As part of her plea agreement, Nguyen acknowledged that the fake couples did not and did not intend to live together, despite what documents and statements submitted to federal authorities said. The spouses met only briefly or even did not meet at all before getting their marriage license.
