NEW TAMPER-PROOF NATURALIZATION CERTIFICATES

Immigration officials, in an effort to deter fraud, will unveil today a new naturalization certificate for people who become U.S. citizens.

The new certificates, used to obtain passports and other legal documents, come after U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) unveiled a new green card — the ID card for immigrants with permanent residency status — this year that had improved security features to prevent forgery and tampering.

THE NEW FACE OF FDNS: Social Networking Sites and Their Importance to FDNS.

A CIS internal memorandum has been circulating which instructs DHS Fraud Detection officers on how to use Facebook, MySpace and similar internet sites to detect fraud in immigration cases. While most people are aware that this has probably been going on for some time now, it is now officially in writing and there can be no doubt about the importance of monitoring what is posted on the internet (either by you or by someone else).

The memorandum is vague in terms of how CIS examiners are to find information, or how they will disclose (if at all) that they have found grounds to deny an application for an immigration benefit. Basically this will give the CIS an ability to perform an "unannounced cyber visit" to any petitioner or beneficiary's web page with the hope of detecting fraud.
