在移民美国时,个人的婚姻信息不得虚假,这就像入籍翻译一样,下面新语丝北京翻译公司介绍相关翻译文章如下:
Desperation makes people do strange things. An adult beneficiary of a petition filed by a permanent resident parent has to wait many years for his petition to become current. If he marries before he gets his green card, the petition becomes invalid and he loses his chance to come to the U.S. Yet, it is hard to put a life on "hold" for ten or more years. Many people facing this situation marry and have children while waiting. Years later, when informed that the petition is now current, some find it impossible to give up the dream of coming to America. An alien in that position sometimes lies to the U.S. Consulate about marital status and the existence or legitimacy of any children and gets a green card as the single son or daughter of a permanent resident or a naturalized U.S. Citizen.
绝望迫使人做出不可思议的事情。一名美国永久居民提出的成人受益人申请,要在数年以后才能够被审批。如果以上当事人在获得绿卡以前结婚,则该申请无效,他也从而失去了前往美国的机会。但是,人们很难将赌注押在十年或更长的等待中。在此困境中,许多人在等待中结婚生子。多年以后,当被告知其申请已经被批准时,一些人发现,很难放弃前往美国的梦想。在此情况下,有些外国人就向美国领事馆隐瞒婚姻状况以及任何孩子的存在或合法性,并作为美国永久居民或美国公民的独生儿子或女儿获得绿卡。
Once in possession of a green card, the alien usually seeks to reunite his family. The actions he takes could make a bad situation even worse. Some aliens go home and re-marry their spouse and file a petition on the spouse's behalf. Some wait for five years, apply to become a U.S. citizen by making additional false statements about not being married and then file the family petition. More often than not, the result of these actions is that the alien finds himself in deportation/removal proceedings in immigration court. The government tries to take back the green card and deport the alien. 一旦获得绿卡后,该外国人通常希望与家人团聚。其采取的行为将使本来就糟糕的情况变得更糟。某些外国人回到原来的家,重新与配偶结婚,并为其配偶提交申请。某些人等待五年时间,再次通过虚假的未婚陈述成为美国公民,然后再为家人提出申请。但在大多数情况下,以上行为的后果是,当事人将自己推上了移民法院的遣返/驱逐程序。美国政府将收回绿卡,并驱逐该外国人。

All is not lost. There is still hope. Immigration and Nationality Act Section 237(a)(1)(H) allows an alien who lied to get a green card to apply for a waiver. The waiver is available to aliens who are the spouse, parent, son or daughter of a citizen of the United States or of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence. In order to receive the waiver, the alien must show that the positive factors in his case outweigh the negative ones.
但并非全无办法。仍然有希望解决问题。移民和入籍法案第237(a)(1)(H)条规定,由于提供虚假信息而获得绿卡的人可以申请豁免。该豁免适用于身为美国公民配偶、父母、儿子或女儿的人,或作为美国合法永久居民的外国人。为了获得豁免,该外国人必须证明其在此类案件中的正面因素超过负面因素。
In re Tijam, a Board of Immigration Appeals case, gives the judges a detailed guide of negative and positive factors to consider in deciding whether to exercise discretion and grant the waiver. Among the negative factors are the "nature and underlying circumstances of the fraud or misrepresentation involved; the nature and seriousness, and recency of any criminal record; and any additional evidence of the alien's bad character or undesirability as a lawful permanent resident of the United States". Positive factors to be considered may include "family ties in the United States; residence of a long duration in this country, particularly where it commenced when the alien was young; evidence of hardship to the alien or their family if deportation occurs; a stable employment history; the existence of property or business ties; evidence of value and service to the community; and other evidence of the alien's good character". In re Tijam,移民上诉委员会案件,使法官们能够详细了解在决定实施自主决定权并批准豁免时需要考虑的正面因素和负面因素。负面因素包括“虚假或错误陈述的性质和当时的情况、任何犯罪记录的特点和严重程度、该外国人不良品行的其它证据或不适合成为美国永久居民的缺点”。正面因素可能包括“在美国的家庭关系、在美国的长期居住,尤其是自该外国人年轻时就居住在美国,如果驱逐该外国人将给其本人或其家庭带来的巨大困难,稳定的就业记录,目前的财产或企业关系,对于社区的贡献和服务以及该外国人良好品德的其它证明”。
Under INS v. Yang, the immigration judge may consider as negative factors all the lies told in order to get and keep a green card - including the initial lies told to gain entry into the United States. That means that the judge can consider as a separate fraud the remarriage after the green card in order to use the second date for purposes of immigrating the spouse. The judge can also consider any lies told on any family petitions or naturalization applications as distinct and separate frauds. Each of these lies will count as a separate negative factor. 根据移民归化局v.Yang的介绍,移民法官可能会将当事人为了获得并持有绿卡而提供的所有虚假信息作为当事人的负面因素,其中包括最初为了进入美国而提供的虚假信息。也就是说,法官可以将其获得绿卡后重新结婚认定为独立的欺诈行为,以便在其配偶移民问题上适用第二个日期。法官还可能将当事人为任何家庭成员提出的申请或入籍申请而提供的虚假信息作为独立的欺诈行为。所有以上撒谎行为均将作为各自独立的负面因素。
Evidence of the positive factors must be carefully presented to the court through documentation and testimony. In addition, the negative factors must be thoroughly dealt with and explained. Because so much is at stake, aliens in this situation should seek the advise and assistance of an experienced immigration attorney.
必须通过文件和证词认真仔细地向法院提供正面因素的证明。此外,必须认真研究所有不利因素,并做出解释。由于事关重大,在此情况下,当事人应寻求经验丰富的移民律师的建议和帮助。
