This week, a big piece of news from Australian media attracted a lot of attention: the Australian police and the Border Inspection Service jointly attacked and destroyed a large commercial marriage syndicate!
Daily Mail: Australian Border Guard destroys a suspected fake marriage syndicate
Dozens of suspects in the group have been arrested and are facing the harshest punishment in history, or 10 years in prison and a fine of more than $210,000!
At the time the business marriage group was broken up, there were still 164 "clients" waiting for the group members to arrange a marriage for them in preparation for PR!
As soon as it came to light, these people`s dreams of commercial marriage were broken! Not only are immigration applications rejected in the first place, but even "commercial couples" who have been in Australia for ten years will face deportation!
Business marriage, a year to get tens of millions!
I believe everyone is no stranger to the word "commercial marriage". In Australia, immigrants can get a spouse`s permanent residence visa by marriage, and the conditions for a spouse`s visa are relatively relaxed.
Spouse immigration has become Australia`s most popular form of immigration in recent years!
Unlike other immigrant visas, spouse visas are largely based on documents in black and white, and most importantly on the true feelings of a couple of immigrants. And because it`s hard to tell the truth, slowly,
Spousal immigrants are starting to run away! More and more people began to use their spouses to emigrate to the wrong path, and an industry called "commercial marriage" was growing savagely!
As the name implies, commercial marriage is "a transaction between money and PR." Because spouse visa operation is simple and quick, many individuals and groups take advantage of this method.
You made a lot of money!
This time, the Australian police destroyed the commercial marriage group, also using commercial marriage business, in a year to make a big profit, raging profits of tens of millions of Australian dollars!
Well-planned, hundreds of people join the club!
According to police investigations, the main head of the business marriage group is a 32-year-old man from India, Jaggit. Jaggit has lived in Australia for many years and has been working on immigration-related issues.
Ever since he discovered the business of "business marriage", Jaggit began to think.
The cunning Jaggit focused on those overseas women who wanted to emigrate to Australia, but had no way to do so. Then Jaggit began his meticulous plan
No, sell oneself, tens of thousands of easy profits!
First, he advertised locally in Australia, looking for single male actors with Australian citizen status. There are no other conditions, no special requirements, as long as it is easy to play a "husband", help "customers" to get PR, not only for a few thousand Australian dollars, but also additional monthly living allowance.
As long as acting casually has a monthly income of several thousand Australian dollars, a few Australian men soon joined Jaggit`s "commercial marriage" program!
Low cost, quick PRs!
As soon as the actor was in place, Jaggit began to temptation those overseas women eager to emigrate to Australia, saying there was a very simple and effective way not only to help them easily emigrate to Australia, but also to have an Australian handsome man get along with them all day and night!
The point is that this program costs less than $ one hundred thousand! Save time and effort, save cost!
So seductive terms, let hundreds of overseas women become "loyal customers" of Jaggit!
Hundreds of people volunteered to take the bait!
Asian woman Singh because of Jaggit`s temptation became his "client." After completing college in Melbourne, Singh had not found a good job and watched her visa expire. She paid Jaggit a service charge of nearly $50,000.
Want to stay in Melbourne through this shortcut.
Later, Jaggit arranged for a "husband" from Melbourne for Singh and forged all kinds of materials for the two men, even having their love experiences and synthetic photos ready for them.
When the wedding ceremony held in the City Hall on the day of the two lines of a pair, the drama of the marriage will be formed!
Another female client is even worse, pregnant she has paid Jaggit $80,000, not only the marriage formalities are settled, even the birth certificate of the child is done together!
In this way, Jaggit`s commercial marriage industry is getting bigger and bigger, and hundreds of people have successfully got married through him in a year!
The scam is exposed, no matter how long it takes to get married!
However, fake is fake, documents can be forged, but some things are not forged at all! Slowly, the Immigration Service also found something wrong, after home visits and covert investigations,
Found out it was a scam from the beginning to the end!
This is good, Jaggit`s business marriage group was thoroughly exposed in front of immigration and police! Before through Jaggit handle business marriage, PR all cancel, still waiting to handle, even the application has been rejected!
These people are going to be deported in the end! Australian actors also face imprisonment!
Some people have been in peace and stability for several years of commercial marriage, and they thought that everything would be going to be calm and quiet for the rest of the year.
But fraud is fraud, even after decades of commercial marriage to the end still have to be government out of the door!
The performance of the play, the money spent, in the end not only empty, but also on the back of a lifetime of blemish! What`s more, some people end up feeling wronged, and they don`t know the truth that their spouse immigrants can handle it so easily!
This business marriage group is not so much an illegal immigration agent as they are a liar!
Commercial marriage is always a lie!
Although Jaggit`s business marriage group was successfully broken up, there are many dark sides behind the huge industrial chain of commercial marriage. In 2016-2017, nearly 60, 000 people got married to PR, China, India, the Philippines and Vietnam, accounting for the vast majority of immigrants from Asian countries, according to the survey.
More and more people apply for spouse visas and more people are found to be faking marriage
According to Australian media data, in fiscal year 2015 / 2016, there were only 278 applicants rejected because of discovered commercial marriages, compared with fiscal year 2017 / 2018.
That number has grown to 668!
And in the past four years, the total number of people refused to sign because of commercial marriage has also reached nearly 1,000!
This also includes a lot of Chinese!
Commercial marriage is no longer uncommon in the Australian Chinese community. In various forums, a variety of Chinese advertisements offering commercial marriage have long been available:
Even some immigration agents are brazenly soliciting business! Search for Australian business marriage in Google, you can not only see a variety of intermediary promotion information, but also see detailed strategies, experience sharing …
However, Australia`s government is not vegetarian!
In the last two years, government not only broke down many of these commercial and marriage agents with the police, but also strengthened the strict examination of spouse visas, not only assessed various documents and evidence, but also conducted interviews and home visits on many occasions. Through a variety of ways to verify the authenticity of the …
Once the fraud is discovered, it will be blocked by the Immigration Board, deported, and will end up losing both human and financial resources.
In addition to those who want to emigrate to Australia through commercial marriage, those who already have Australian status are also very vulnerable to being involved in the full range of commercial marriages.
Many people can not withstand the huge benefits of temptation, the sale of their identity in exchange for imprisonment and high fines, it is really not worth the loss!
In addition, commercial marriage in Australia is still a "one-man mistake, the family sit together" charge! Once the Immigration Board determines that the documents or background of the spouse visa applicant are falsified, not only will the individual be punished.
His family may also be prohibited from obtaining any other type of visa! The whole of Australia will not welcome a family with a history of fraud!
Therefore, even if the commercial marriage is successful, even if the commercial marriage has passed safely for several years, it does not mean that the matter is over. Commercial marriage is always a hoax, and government`s knife is always hanging over the heads of these deceptors.
This kind of "good life" with lies will sooner or later have a day of disillusionment! Those who play with Australia`s law must not be at ease for too long!
In Australia, there are many ways to emigrate, except for spouse immigrants, skilled immigrants, investment migrants, state guarantee and so on. The most important thing is, no matter which way of immigration, should not be those who have a bad mind to benefit from the tools!
The real victims in the long run are the innocent people who have been working hard in Australia and eager to be reunited with their families.
On the other hand, immigration shortcuts such as "business marriage" are itself at great risk. The government`s scrutiny will become more and more demanding, so that the "good life" won`t last long. Therefore, if you want to emigrate through this illegal means, you must think twice!
This is a way not only to lose your money, but also to lose your whole life …
