Viewing cable 07SINGAPORE225, SINGAPORE QUARTERLY FRAUD SUMMARY - Q1 FY2007

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #07SINGAPORE225.

SINGAPORE 00000225  001.2 OF 002 
 
 
1. SUMMARY: H-1B fraud remained the most common fraud activity that 
we saw in Singapore this quarter.  Post began utilizing Lexis Nexis 
this quarter to support fraud-prevention activities. The number of 
H-1B applications from unqualified and/or short-term residents of 
Singapore originating from India seems to have dropped this quarter. 
 Post devoted significant resources to addressing potential adoption 
fraud. END SUMMARY. 
 
2. Singapore Fraud Summary 
 
A. COUNTRY CONDITIONS:  Singapore remained a low-fraud environment 
for consular services.  Singapore's pool of visa applicants is 
comprised of well-qualified individuals with reliable documentation 
for the most part.  Our key concern continued to be the potential 
for fraud by the Indian H-1B applicant pool. 
 
B. NIV FRAUD 
 
Post continued to implement more stringent measures in the 
adjudication of H-1B IT applicants originating from India.  The FPU 
unit utilized Nexis Lexis to vet petitioners' information submitted 
through tax returns, W-2 forms, payroll registries, LCAs, I-129s, 
and other documents.  In addition, post continued to exchange 
information with nearby posts concerning the legitimacy of local 
companies.  Officers applied the enhanced understanding of USCIS and 
its requirements that they gained through attendance at fraud 
conferences to improve the focus and substance of memos recommending 
petition revocation for suspect petition-based visa applications. 
Our sense is that there has been a drop in fraudulent applications 
as well as a decrease in applications from recent arrivals to 
Singapore, though it is too early to develop meaningful statistics. 
 
 
C. IV FRAUD:  See adoption fraud. Otherwise, IV fraud remained 
minimal. 
 
D. DV Fraud:  No change. 
 
E. ACS AND PASSPORT FRAUD: No change. 
 
F. ADOPTION FRAUD:  In August 2006, post's IV unit noticed a trend 
in American citizens inquiring about applying for immigration 
benefits for Malaysian babies to be adopted in Singapore. 
Prospective adoptive parents gave inconsistent information to IV 
staff and officers concerning whether or not they had already 
identified a child for adoption and the details surrounding the 
prospective adoption.  While absolute numbers were low (half a dozen 
in a few months), on a relative scale for this post it was a surge. 
Post's immigrant visa officer swiftly engaged Embassy Kuala Lumpur 
(ref A), CA, and USCIS Hong Kong, as some of the information 
provided by inquirers raised concerns about potential child 
trafficking.  In particular, it was noted that the children 
apparently had been brought to Singapore on social visit passes by 
un-named "agents" of some sort for the purpose of adoption, possibly 
without compliance with Malaysian laws on adoption or guardianship. 
Only one couple has filed a formal application for immigration 
benefits (I-600), which post referred to USCIS for adjudication. 
USCIS denied the case w.  We have posted a notice on our website 
urging American citizens who wish to adopt in Singapore to consult 
with the Embassy, submitted an updated adoption flyer to CA for 
clearance and posting, and scheduled joint outreach activities with 
USCIS for the current quarter to educate potential adoptive parents 
about the intricacies of international adoption and U.S. immigration 
requirements. 
 
G. ASYLUM AND OTHER DHS BENEFIT FRAUD:  No change. 
 
H. COOPERATION WITH HOST GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES:  The GOS in general 
 
SINGAPORE 00000225  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
remained eager to share information related to non-Singapore 
citizens involved in alien smuggling or mala fide travel schemes. 
The GOS also remained reluctant to release information about 
Singapore nationals due to strict privacy laws, though there are no 
significant cases to report. 
 
I. AREAS OF PARTICULAR CONCERN:  None 
 
J: STAFFING AND TRAINING:  Embassy Singapore hosted the CA-organized 
EAP Fraud Conference in November.  Post's Fraud Assistant and all 
officers attended all or parts of the conference.  Officers had the 
opportunity to meet their counterparts in the region and discussed 
face-to-face issues previously approached only via emails or phone 
calls.  Post's FPM also attended the KCC-hosted L-1 Visa Fraud 
Prevention Conference in October, which was a great success.  The 
FPM brought back invaluable information on work visa fraud and 
trends to share with other officers at Post.  The FPM encouraged all 
LES staff to complete the online training related to detecting 
impostors and almost all LES staff members have completed the 
course.
