Screen a visa filing for fraud or willful misrepresentation of a material fact
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the document and the answer the lawyer has marked, record the question whether the person, by fraud or by willfully misrepresenting a material fact, seeks to procure, has sought to procure, or has procured a visa, other documentation, admission, or another benefit under the Act. Record, separately, that full and truthful disclosure of all information requested by the Department of Homeland Security is a condition of a nonimmigrant's admission and continued stay. Do not decide that a fact is material. Do not decide inadmissibility or loss of status. Do not draft a correction.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides materiality and the consequence. 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(6)(C)(i) makes inadmissible a person who, by fraud or willfully misrepresenting a material fact, seeks to procure or has procured a visa, other documentation, admission, or other benefit under the chapter. 8 C.F.R. § 214.1(f) makes full and truthful disclosure a condition of a nonimmigrant's admission and continued stay, and treats a willful failure, whether or not the information was material, as a failure to maintain status under section 237(a)(1)(C)(i). The tool does not decide either consequence.
