Immigration Again!?
posted (April 14, 2016)
Tonight, 7News has learned that there's another bogus passport scandal brewing at the Immigration and Nationality Department. It involves two passports issued to Chinese nationals: Nina Huang and William Wan. Reports to our newsroom suggest that they acquired their passports with suspect documents, and it is not even known if they ever entered the country.

Minister of State with responsibility for Immigration Beverly Castillo has confirmed via text message, quote, "there is some research being carried out to review the validity of those passports," end quote.

She did not answer our question via text message as to whether the nationality files were in the system. In the past, bogus passports are often accompanied by missing nationality files.

It's an alarming recurrence of Immigration fraud after very stringent measures were put in place in the wake of the Citizen Kim incident and we'll keep following the story to unearth more details.
