The big mistake of lying to immigration to get a visa or green card
A finding of either fraud or misrepresentation makes an alien inadmissible under INA 212 (a)(6)(C) (i). Most cases involving inadmissibility under this ground involve misrepresentation and not fraud because fraud is often more difficult to prove. The penalty for fraud or material misrepresentation is lifetime ban from the United States unless the foreign national can get a hardship waiver.

Worried about E-Verify mismatches that could prevent you getting hired?
The new E-Verify Self Check service launched by the Department of Homeland Security and USCIS gives workers and job-seekers access to their US employment eligibility status and guidance as to how to make corrections to their DHS or SSA records.
The new service is designed to empower job seekers and US workers by creating a service through which they can check their US employment eligibility status for themselves rather than depend on the E-Verify check done by an employer.
