Everything Wrong with The Proposal

Immigration Update with Lin Walker by Lin Walker

Episode notes
The Proposal, starring Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock is one of our favorite movies, and one of the favorite movies of our guest, retired CBP Director of Operations, Alma Montemayor. However, the immigration processes the filmmakers show are far from accurate. In this episode immigration attorney Lin Walker enlists the help of Alma to answer the questions:
  • How important is immigration accuracy in the movies? Why should we care?
  • What constitutes marriage fraud, and what are the consequences?
  • What is the role of USCIS in determining the legitimacy of a marriage visa?
