Can someone tell me if fraud was committed and how to report it?
Person A whom I will call MOTHER was a naturalized US Citizen. She filed a family petition for her adult married son in the early 90's. MOTHER later retired and left the country in early 2000's. In 2013 the petition she filed in the early 90's was finally processed. Son came to the USA.
My questions:
How did the petition move forward? The petitioner has already left the country.
I found out they use my home address and made it appear that petitioner lives in my house. This constitutes fraud. How can I report this?
Your post does not give sufficient information to determine if there is any fraud. Why do you think the petitioner needs to live in the U.S.? She is a US citizen; she can live anywhere in the world, don't need to be in the U.S. Did she live at your address at the time of the filing of the petition? Fraud claims can be reported to the ICE tip line but he is already here - meaning he went thru consular visa processing. ICE will not care.
The affidavit of support requires the petitioner to have a valid US domicile. She never lived at my house, but stated she did. That alone constitutes supplying fraudulent information. This is the information that ICE is not aware about.

It does not require a US address.
So, you have a score to settle. Have a t it! Remember that you will have to let go of the tiger's tail.
With the terrorist threat it is best to be safe. Go to the website recommended, state that you do not know the legalities but have heard your address was used and wanted to ensure the authorities that this is inaccurate.
I agree if you call it in with the info at hand and tell them you have this knowledge and than they can do whatever they feel is needed. That is not false reporting unless it is of course not true.
We had one tenant asking if the tenant could have a friend use our address for a green card application and the tenant was even willing to pay extra for a fake application and to add the person to the lease just to get a green card. Of course we said "absolutely NO".
