And you just said: "There's standard, normalized ways immigrants have come to the US for a long time now."

But for this guy's sake you'll make an exception? Is that because he won't form an ethnic ghetto?

If you faked a degree, you would definitely be caught. If you are caught defrauding the Government in such a way, you might escape jail time (if it is your first offense) but also face the possibility of a ban from the US itself (permanently or for a very long time). This means you would not possibly even be able to travel to the US as a tourist because you tried to deceptively defraud.

Not really an avenue I am looking to explore, thanks. I am going to speak with an immigration lawyer and see what my options are, perhaps for other visas, equivalency for education experience to substitute and an exception on an application. I will probably write up a little blog post detailing how I go, for anyone else who finds themselves in a similar situation.

That is an incredibly stupid idea.

This is fraud. Do not do this.

Right, because it is so difficult to verify credentials. Under no circumstances should you do this.

So what you're saying is you only want white people coming in? Australia is also pretty diverse you know.

Or he can get his real degree in some Patrick Korseka private university, Some street, Building 56, 5th floor, room #34. Ask Paul :)
