    SUBJECT: FRAUD SUMMARY JAN-MAR 2008 KINGSTON

    REF: A) 08 KINGSTON 00091  B) 07 KINGSTON 01742

    ¶1. (U) SUMMARY.  In the second quarter of FY 2008, the Fraud
    Prevention Unit focused on public outreach and interagency
    cooperation, particularly with our law enforcement colleagues.  FPU
    organized an interagency roundtable, conducted three offsite field
    trips for officers, and gave presentations to airline
    representatives, immigration officers, and our friends at the
    British and Canadian High Commissions.  Kingston's FPU received 233
    Nonimmigrant Visa (NIV) cases, 3 new Immigrant Visa (IV) cases, 9
    American Citizen Services (ACS) cases, and 150 external requests
    (data checks from DHS, airlines, local immigration, etc.).  FPU
    processed an additional 160 walk-in cases and entered 318 CLASS
    records based on I-275 turn around reports and other tip reports.
    Of all the NIV cases referred, 167 were closed, with 49 confirmed
    fraud (confirmed fraud rate: 29%).  7 IV cases were closed this
    quarter, with three confirmed fraud (confirmed fraud rate: 43%).
    END SUMMARY

    -----------------------
    NONIMMIGRANT VISA FRAUD
    -----------------------

    ¶2. (SBU) PERFORMERS: In January, FPU intercepted a group of sixteen
    performers who had close ties to the Caribbean Alliance Group, a
    petitioner known to FPU to have associations with drug trafficking.
    While this group of performers had applied under a new petition,
    many of the group had previously traveled for Caribbean Alliance
    Group and the bona fides of their previous travel could not be
    established.  Most of the group could not give convincing answers
    about their upcoming tour, so the group was refused and their ties
    to the suspect petitioner were documented.

    ¶3. (U) J1 SUMMER WORK AND TRAVEL PROGRAM: In February, our
    interviewers noticed a group of J1 summer work and travel students
    whose program dates ran from February to May 2008.  FPU investigated
    the group and determined that none of the students met the
    qualifications for the summer work and travel program.  Most were
    only part-time students and several claimed to attend the Computer
    Professionals Training Institute, a bogus educational entity.  The
    group's travel agent, Annie Wilson, had organized their applications
    and claimed to represent the group on behalf of the Nu Krew
    Employment Agency.  However, this was not the first time that Ms.
    Wilson had come to the attention of the Fraud Prevention Unit.  She
    had previously attempted to obtain visa appointments through
    fraudulent means.  Adhering to Kingston's new "zero-tolerance"
    policy for agents who abuse the expedited appointment process, FPU
    has barred Ms. Wilson and the Nu Krew Employment Agency from using
    the expedited system.  FPU also reported the suspicious U.S.
    employment agency, Philadelphia International Institute, to the
    Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA).

    ¶4. (U) PENN RELAYS: The Penn Relays track and field meet in April of
    each year is a major athletic event that is a significant cultural
    milestone for many young Jamaican athletes.  Hundreds of high school
    and university students apply for visas each spring to attend the
    meet.  However, many mala fide applicants apply for visas to attend
    the meet as well, disguising themselves as student athletes.  In
    order to combat the high fraud associated with this event but still
    allow the bona fide student athletes to travel, FPU implemented a
    new system to prescreen all Penn Relays applicants.  The FPM and FPU
    investigator delivered a presentation to over 100 principals and
    coaches of the Inter-Secondary School Sports Association (ISSA), a
    local organization that coordinates all sports at the secondary
    school level.  All schools submitted their students' applications
    and passports in advance of their visa interviews.  After the cases
    were adjudicated, FPU verified the student enrollment of all 350
    students over a three day period to ensure that each visa was issued
    to a bona fide student athlete.  The new screening system was very
    successful and resulted in an improved relationship with ISSA and
    all the high schools involved in the process.

    IMMIGRANT VISA FRAUD
    --------------------

    ¶5. (U) In February 2008, the FPU staff conducted field
    investigations on outstanding immigrant visa cases over the course
    of three days.  Two of the Unit's Fraud Investigators organized the
    trips and invited an entry-level officer (ELO) in the Consular
    Section to participate each day, in order to serve as a training
    opportunity and help orient the ELOs to the work involved in
    conducting a fraud investigation.  The two-day field trip covered
    four parishes and resulted in the completion of four immigrant visa
    case investigations, of which two were determined to be fraudulent

    relationships.  FPU plans to continue to organize these field trips
    bimonthly.

    AMERICAN CITIZEN SERVICES AND PASSPORT FRAUD
    --------------------------------------------

    ¶7. (U) FPU continues to investigate passport and CRBA applications
    for the ACS Unit by providing Lexis Nexis and other database
    searches on applications in order to assist the ACS officers in
    their adjudication process.  Particularly in the rush of passport
    applications that has followed the implementation of the Western
    Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), ACS has brought more cases to
    FPU's attention for verification of U.S. civil documents and Lexis
    searches to verify the passport applicants' claims to citizenship.

    --------------
    ADOPTION FRAUD
    --------------

    ¶8.  (U) FPU regularly investigates adoption cases where the
    applicant's orphan status is uncertain.  Jamaica has a tradition of
    informal adoption without documentation, which makes it difficult
    for Jamaican applicants to establish their eligibility.  Often, an
    applicant's relatives in the United States will adopt the applicant
    despite the fact that the applicant does not qualify as an orphan.
    FPU conducts regular field investigations to the applicants' homes
    in order to determine who is caring for the applicant and whether
    the family meets the poverty definitions of the INA.

    -----------------------------------
    ASYLUM AND OTHER DHS BENEFITS FRAUD
    -----------------------------------

    ¶9. (U) Post's DHS/USCIS Officer-in-Charge reports no asylum cases
    for the second quarter of 2008.

    --------------------------------------------
    COOPERATION WITH HOST GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES
    --------------------------------------------

    ¶10. (U) FPU continued our public outreach efforts with airline and
    immigration officer trainings in January and February.  FPU trained
    60 new airline representatives and 20 immigration officers on
    fraudulent document detection, facial recognition and U.S. travel
    document requirements.

    --------------------------------
    COOPERATION WITH OTHER AGENCIES
    --------------------------------

    ¶11. (SBU) In February, FPU sponsored a roundtable meeting with all
    U.S. law enforcement agencies at Post: the U.S. Marshals, the
    Department of Homeland Security, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA),
    the Narcotics Affairs Section (NAS), the Regional Security Office,
    and the Consular Section.  It was the first gathering of these
    agencies in recent memory to discuss fraud issues and was a highly
    successful meeting.  The group agreed to implement better
    information-sharing practices and to meet more regularly to discuss
    fraud trends and other cross-cutting issues.

    ¶12. (SBU) As a result of the law enforcement roundtable meeting, our
    DHS colleagues have begun to regularly share lists of Jamaican
    deportees that have arrived on the monthly Justice Prisoner and
    Alien Transportation System (JPATS) flights from the U.S.  FPU has
    used this information to ensure that all deportees have been entered
    into the CLASS database.  FPU has also received invaluable drug
    interdiction intelligence from DEA and NAS, as well as developed a
    closer relationship with the U.S. Marshals office to detect wanted
    fugitives who apply for visas.

    -------------------------------
    COOPERATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT
    -------------------------------

    ¶13. (U) FPU hosted a three-day visit by the Department's Fraud
    Prevention Programs (CA/FPP) liaison for the Caribbean in February
    and shared our best practices, as well as the challenges we face in

    KINGSTON 00000425  003 OF 003

    detecting and preventing fraud in Kingston.  The visit produced
    valuable results and strengthened our working relationship with the
    Department and our regional colleagues.

    ---------------------------
    AREAS OF PARTICULAR CONCERN
    ---------------------------

    ¶14. (SBU) FRAUDULENT ENTRY TO CONSULAR SECTION:  In March, FPU
    received information from the Consular Process Facilitator that
    applicants appeared to be entering the compound without valid
    appointment letters.  After our staff identified several applicants
    who had entered improperly, FPU investigated and discovered that
    these applicants were arriving at the entrance and asking for
    admission to the American Citizen Services Unit.  Upon further
    investigation, the applicants admitted that they had paid a vendor
    outside on the sidewalk approximately US $100 each for information
    on how to access the Consular Section.  The A/RSO-I interrogated the
    vendor and turned her over to the Jamaican Fraud Squad for criminal
    investigation.

    ---------------------
    STAFFING AND TRAINING
    ---------------------

    ¶15. (U) OFFICER TRAINING:  In February, FPU coordinated and hosted
    an intensive, three hour training session for visa officers to
    review visa security features, exemplars of backdated immigration
    stamps, common fraudulent groups and trends, and investigative
    interviewing skills.  The presentation was the inaugural session in
    what is planned to be monthly officer training sessions to cover a
    range of fraud prevention issues as they arise.

    ¶16. (U) OFFICER FIELD TRIPS:  In March, FPU coordinated an off-site
    field trip to the Registrar General's Department (RGD) to learn
    about the process to obtain local birth and marriage certificates.
    The RGD provided an insightful presentation and tour of its
    facilities.  FPU learned that the RGD has many security measures in
    place and treats its security paper much like visa foils in terms of
    access and accountability.  Officers were able to ask questions
    about the most common fraud trends that arise in visa interviews
    with regards to local birth and marriage records.  The director of
    the RGD, Dr. Patricia Holness, personally gave the presentation and
    guided us on the tour.  The field trip provided officers and staff
    with a better understanding of the RGD and built confidence in the
    RGD's ability to prevent fraud.

    ¶17. (U) LES TRAINING: Fraud Investigator Erica Beresford attended
    PC-542 Fraud Prevention Workshop at FSI on March 10-14, 2008.  Ms.
    Beresford learned critical new investigative skills and how to apply
    the latest CA/FPP tools.  She also benefited from interacting with
    her colleagues from around the world.  Upon Ms. Beresford's return
    to Post, she shared her experiences in a roundtable discussion with
    the rest of the Fraud Prevention Unit.  The training was immensely
    valuable and Post plans to nominate another LES staff member for the
    next available training course.

    ¶18. (U) The Fraud Prevention Manager (FPM) position is vacant.  The
    current FPM is Jennifer L. Williams, an ELO in a six month rotation.
