    SUBJECT: FRAUD SUMMARY OCT-DEC 2007 KINGSTON

    REF: A) 07 KINGSTON 01158   B) 07 KINGSTON 01742

    ¶1.  (SBU) SUMMARY.  In the first quarter of FY 2008, Kingston's
    Fraud Prevention Unit (FPU) uncovered a ring of C1/D fraud that
    resulted in specific information about the applicants' smuggler in
    New York.  FPU also investigated ten H-1B cases of Indian nationals
    who provided fraudulent employment documents from their supposed
    Jamaican employers.  FPU Kingston continues to scrutinize H-1B
    applications from third-country nationals and is working with FPU
    Chennai to verify Indian education documents.  Kingston's FPU
    received 247 Nonimmigrant Visa (NIV) cases, 9 new Immigrant Visa
    (IV) cases, 7 American Citizen Services (ACS) cases, and 111
    external requests (data checks from DHS, airlines, local
    immigration, etc.).  FPU processed an additional 157 walk-in cases
    and entered 129 CLASS records based on I-275 turn around reports and
    other tip reports.  Of all the NIV cases referred, 201 were closed,
    with 91 confirmed fraud (45.3% confirmed fraud).  13 IV cases were
    closed this quarter, with nine confirmed fraud (69.2% confirmed
    fraud).  END SUMMARY

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

    ¶2.  (SBU) FRAUDULENT C1/Ds:  In November 2007, FPU intercepted three
    applicants who had previously received C1/D visas to work for Master
    Ships and Navitrans Shipping companies, both of whom are known to
    CA/FPP to be bogus companies.  Two of the applicants were applying
    for the H-2B program and one was applying for an immigrant visa
    through his relationship with his American citizen wife.  In a
    series of in-depth individual interviews with the applicants, FPU
    discovered that the three had all paid the same agent, Mr. Charles
    ¶R. Barrett of Queens, New York, in order to obtain crewmember
    contracts and to make arrangements for their employment.  According
    to these interviews, the applicants claim that they intended to work
    in the shipping industry as tank cleaners or housekeeping staff.
    However, once these applicants reached Miami, each claims that they
    were met by Mr. Barrett or an associate and taken by bus to Queens,
    New York, where they were put to work in restaurants owned by Mr.
    Barrett's friends.  Two of the applicants worked at The Door
    restaurant located at 16307 Baisley Boulevard, Jamaica, New York
    ¶11434.

    ¶3.  (SBU) Further investigation into Mr. Barrett's associations with
    visa applicants revealed his sister Rosalee Barrett's visa
    application in July 2006 to obtain a C1/D visa for Panama Shipping
    Lines, a company that has been linked to Master Ships and Navitrans
    as another completely bogus company set up by the same individuals.
    Ms. Barrett had been issued a 12 month C1/D visa, which has since
    been revoked following this investigation.

    ¶4.  (SBU) After reviewing CCD records, FPU determined that Kingston
    has issued 34 visas to crewmembers claiming to work for one of these
    companies.  FPU continues to investigate these cases and is
    preparing information to provide to Diplomatic Security in order to
    assist in any investigation they may wish to conduct on Mr. Charles
    Barrett and The Door restaurant in New York.

    ¶5.  (SBU) SUSPECT H1B PETITIONERS: In the first quarter of FY 2008,
    the Fraud Prevention Unit investigated ten H-1B visa applications
    that had strong fraud indicators.  The pattern of these applications
    is familiar to Kingston: third country nationals, mostly from India,
    work in Jamaica for one to two years at a small business in computer
    programming or software engineering.  Their friends and associates
    in the U.S. find small companies owned by other Indian nationals to
    petition for them.  These companies are well-prepared to present as
    many legal, financial and business documents as are required by the
    Embassy in order to appear legitimate.  However, upon further
    scrutiny, these companies have all demonstrated fraud indicators as
    well.  Many of their alleged clients do not in fact have direct
    relationships with the petitioners.  Most of the companies have been
    founded by former H-1B visa holders who have recently left their
    original petitioning company.  The majority of the employees at
    these companies are H-1B visa holders who have recently arrived from
    India.  However, the challenge in theses cases lies in finding
    enough strong evidence of fraud to support a petition revocation
    recommendation.  FPU Kingston returns these fraudulent cases through
    the revocation process when possible, but often must issue visas to
    these applicants when the burden of evidentiary proof cannot be
    reached through our investigations.

    ¶6.  (SBU) The companies most suspected by FPU Kingston are Delasoft,
    Inc., Tech Arrow, RR Informatics, Hylee Group, and Novedea Systems.
    Since Post began investigating applications from these petitioners,
    Post has not received any subsequent applications from those
    companies.  Therefore, while the process is time and resource
    intensive, FPU Kingston believes that our robust efforts to
    investigate H-1B fraud are reducing the number of suspicious cases
    Post receives.

    ¶7.  (SBU) PORTMORE PACESETTERS MARCHING BAND:  The Portmore
    Pacesetters Marching Band is a well-known group of children and
    young adults who perform at parades and events around Jamaica, as
    well as travel regularly to the U.S. to perform at various parades
    throughout the year.  The group is a legitimate marching band, but
    many of their members have overstayed their visas in the past, and
    FPU has received tips that the band XXXXXXXXXXXX has
    taken bribes from new members who have joined the band solely to
    obtain a U.S. visa.  A group of about 80 members appeared at the
    Embassy in December 2007 to obtain visas for the Martin Luther King
    Jr. Day Parade on January 21, 2008, in Tampa, Florida.  FPU worked
    through various channels in order to obtain more specific
    information about members who paid their way into the band, but were
    unable to verify specific names of those individuals.  Because many
    of the group's members use their visas appropriately, it was not
    prudent to refuse the entire group's applications.

    ¶8.  (SBU) In order to weed out the mala fide applicants, FPU
    conducted thorough interviews with the applicants who were referred
    to FPU for review.  Through these, FPU cleared 16 applicants who
    convinced us that they are bona fide members of the marching band
    and who overcame 214(b).  FPU will continue to seek information on
    this group and will closely monitor future applications.

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

    ¶9.  (SBU) In October 2007, the FPU staff conducted field
    investigations on outstanding immigrant visa cases over the course
    of two 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
    five of the 14 parishes and resulted in the completion of eleven
    immigrant visa case investigations, of which eight were determined
    to be fraudulent relationships.  FPU plans to continue to organize
    these field trips bimonthly.

    --------
    DV FRAUD
    --------

    ¶10.  (U) Kingston is not a DV post.

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

    ¶11.  (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
    --------------

    ¶12.  (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
    -----------------------------------

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

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

    ¶14.  (U) FPU has set up quarterly trainings at Norman Manley
    International Airport in Kingston and Donald Sangster International
    Airport in Montego Bay to review U.S. travel document requirements
    and basic fraud prevention techniques.  FPU invites every airline to
    send representatives to the trainings, which cover topics including
    facial recognition, detecting imposters, basic document training and
    examination of genuine and fraudulent U.S. visas and passports.  The
    most recent training was completed in October 2007, and the next
    round of training is scheduled for January 2008.

    --------------------------------
    COOPERATION WITH OTHER EMBASSIES
    --------------------------------

    ¶15.  (SBU) On October 30, 2007, the Fraud Prevention Manager (FPM)
    and Assistant Regional Security Officer Investigator (ARSO-I) met
    with their British and Canadian counterparts at a lunch meeting
    hosted by the British High Commission.  The British were hosting
    visitors from their Risk Assessment Operations Centre at UK Visas,
    who provided valuable insight into their current fraud operations
    and their plans to expand how they detect and deter fraud.  The
    meeting was held as a part of ongoing consultations between the
    three Missions to work cooperatively and share best practices.  The
    meetings have been extremely successful thus far.

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

    ¶16.  (SBU) FRAUDULENT VISA APPOINTMENT LETTERS:  On November 26,
    2007, the FPM and ARSO-I examined 25 cases in which applicants
    presented counterfeit visa appointment letters to the Consular
    Section in order to gain access to the building and bypass the wait
    time for a visa appointment.  The scheme was uncovered by the
    Section's Process Facilitator, who noticed a pattern in the bogus
    letters' printing and then discovered that none of the applicants
    who presented the letters had a scheduled appointment for that day.

    ¶17.  (SBU) During the interviews, most applicants revealed the name
    of a document vendor who is known to the ARSO-I and who has been
    under surveillance for some time.  These applicants paid the vendor
    up to US $100 for the appointment letter, as well as an additional
    US $400 for other supporting documentation in some cases.  FPU and
    RSO continue to monitor the document vendor and are working closely
    with the Jamaican Fraud Squad to arrest the individuals in question.

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

    ¶18.  (U) Per reftel B), FPU continues to seek CA/FPP assistance in
    obtaining FSI training for one of our Fraud Investigators whose
    nomination has been previously denied three times.  Post intends to
    nominate this staff member again for training later this spring.
