Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

green card

My father, who is married to my

mother in the USA, married another

women in China. Clearly, that

marriage is invalid; however, aside

from him being a cheater, he seems

to have gotten himself into

immigration trouble. He signed a

green card application as the chinese

lady's husband-which is clearly not!

What are the legal ramifications of

these actions?

Fraud, which the government may or may not prosecute.

Re: green card

Possibly a charge against him to commit fraud against the U.S. -- it depends on whether anyone complains and presses the charge. Aiding and abetting an illegal to enter the U.S. is another charge. Quite frankly, he should, if possible, withdraw the application immediately and maybe he can plead insanity or coercion regarding the marriage and the signing of the card! Good luck!
