It is marriage fraud and results in SEVERE penalties. CBP and ICE take this matter very seriously. Our local ICE office actually has one whole group of agents (out of 9) dedicated to investigating this crime. This is a sham way to gain US citizenship and it is also a very popular way for traffickers to bring prostitutes into the country. If someone asks you to do this run, don't walk, the other way. There is nothing good that will come of it when CBP or ICE finds you. NO!!!!!

What you're doing is called FRAUD. You get to pay a $250K fine plus give up the $50 bucks you got for selling out your country. It's fraudsters like you who arrange scam marriages to US citizenship that make it harder for people like me who marry a foreign born wife legally.
