Three Kenyans Charged with Fraudulently Marrying US Citizens to Obtain Citizenship

Three Kenyans including two women and one man were charged by a US federal grand jury for their roles in a marriage fraud conspiracy.

Nellie Mbote, a 35-year-old Kenyan from Lee’s Summit, Missouri was charged in a four-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Kansas City on May 21st, 2019.

Mbote, together with two other Kenyans, are accused of entering in fraudulent marriages arranged by Delmar Dixon of Kansas City. Mbote married in 2009.

She was charged with one count of conspiracy, one count of making false statements, one count of making a false oath in a matter relating to naturalization and one count of unlawfully acquiring citizenship.

She was charged alongside 39-year-old Rogers Onyango Guche, of Cypress, Texas; and Fidelina Mwelu Mutisya, 59, of Winchester, Ohio. Guche and Mutisya married their spouses in 2007.

The federal indictment said the marriages were designed to bypass federal immigration laws to obtain permanent residency and/or American citizenship. 

The three allegedly paid Dixon to arrange their marriages.

The federal said the three paid their American spouses $1,000 at the time of the wedding and $100 each month until the immigration process was complete.

Dixon is alleged to have coached the three and their US ‘spouses’ on how to make their marriages appear legitimate.

Dixon, who was charged in a separate but related case, was sentenced on July 13th, 2017 to three years in federal prison after admitting he arranged between 30 and 40 fraudulent marriages.

If convicted, the accused persons’ naturalization will be revoked and their certificate of naturalization canceled.

    I will begin taking Mkenya Halisi seriously when he says shit happens.

      Deportee Halisi has been there before so he should know. In all seriousness, if you plan on doing shady s**t, then you need to start remitting money to Kenya, buying multiple kaplotis, and building up businesses there because that stuff will eventually blow up in your face and you will find yourself on ICE Air. Nothing worse than landing in Kenya with no back up plan and no money. Those you helped or worse, ignored, will have no further use for you then.

    Hawa ndugu zetu wa kutoka Yuropa ni watu wa ajabu sana. Walihamia duniani kote na kunyakua mashamba ya watu kwa kutumia mabavu na hawataki mtu mwingine kufanya walivyofanya na hata sasa wanaendelea kufanya hivyo.

    Hebu niambie, wakati hawa ndugu zetu kutoka Yuropa walipohamia:

    Greenland, Canada, Marekani, Mexico, nchi zote za Marekani ya Kati na ya Kusini, Visiwa vyote vilivyomo Caribbean, Afrika, India, Australia, New Zealand, viziwa vyote vilivyomo katika bahari kuu ya Pacific WALIPEWA VISA NA NANI?

  6. @10x, nastajabishwa na wivu…
    @10x, nastajabishwa na wivu unaokudunga na mambo yasiyo kuhusu. Unanikumbusha wakati wa uchaguzi 2007/8 nchini Kenya ambapo Wajaluo wa Boston (Massachussetts) na wale wa Dallas(Texas) na viunga vyake, walivyowaitania Wakikuyu kwa INS kama ilivyokuwa ikijulikana nyakati. Kisa na maana? Kibaki ambaye ni Mkikuyu alipokonya Raila, ambaye ni Mjaluo, kura na matumaini yake ya kuwa rais wa Jamhuri ya Kenya. Bughudha na fitina hizo zilianza kuenea hadi Missouri(Kansas), Washington DC, Baltimore(Maryland), na pia katika viunga vya sehemu hizo. Mara Waluhya na Wakisii wakaungana na Wajaluo katika harakati zao za kutumia mamlaka ya uhamiaji kuwafurusha Wakikuyu, huku wengine wakipigia makampuni na vyombo vinginezo vya asisi wakizitisha kufahamisha INS eti kwamba wameajiri wahamiaji kinyume cha sheria. Nilishikwa na mshangao na bumbuwazi ambayo hata wa leo sijawahi kuamini. Cha kusikitisha na kushangaza ni kwamba, Wakenya hawa hawakuamini taasisi hiyo ilivyotupilia mbali madai. Nimekutana na Wakenya wengi ambao wana makaratasi na ukweli ni kwamba, hawapendezwi na wasio na makaratasi na haswa uchapaji wao wa kazi. Wakenya wasio na makaratasi, mpende msipende, kwa sababu ya mazingara ya hofu na wasiwasi unaokera, wamebarikiwa na wao ndio waliofanya mambo makubwa hapa Marekani na Jamhuri. Wapeapo nafasi, Wakenya wengi hasa walio wenyeji, wako tayari wakati wowote Kaburu Trump ahitajipo habari zozote za kuwafumania na kuwafurusha wachapa kazi hawa. Diposa Wakenya wengi hushukiana na kujitenga kutoka kwa wenzao. Diposa Wakenya hawataki wenzao kujua wanafanya kazi wapi, wanaishi wapi na wanafanya nini hapa Marekani. Nakumbuka wakati mmoja Mkenya akiwapigia INS na FBI baada ya kuzozana kanisani, ungedhani ni vipepeo vilivyokuwa vikiponyoka mle kanisani. Swali langu ni hili, “pilipili uzizozila zakuashia nini?

    THREE THINGS:-
    1. Iko ma informer wakali kushinda wewe 10×. Wale wanafanyia Gava kazi ya kutranslate phone call conversations za watu na texts from Kiswahili/Sheng to English na wengine gunia kama wewe wanaweza kuwa hired kusorora group discussions kama hizi. So do your worst K@&# NINA wewe. Wanasemaga malipo ni hapa hapa.
    2. This is so Sad on so many levels. Hakuna mtu hajawahi hustle majuu. Na ukicheka mwenzako jua yako inakuja. Mbote and Guche were admitted on an F-1 visa. Kama hujui hustle F1 hupitia then penya meno tu ukiswipe to the left. Kwa wale wanajua songa tukiendaga. Having said that it’s no excuse to commit fraud or any other crime. Ukweli ni kwamba watu ambao wanajipata kwa hali hiyo wanafahamu na kuelewa kabisa matokeo ni yepi.
    3. Huyu Dixon Akataa, naona alikatiwa deal for a lighter sentence. Ndio maana aliamua kuzamisha watu hivi. Either way kuna mtu amesema hapo juu. Ma “goddamn”- tia ZII KABISA!
    Last but not least, The charges contained in this indictment are simply accusations, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence. Woi, Mungu saidia watu wako.

  13. I believe this page is…
    I believe this page is public and anything posted will be used by some people to do something on some people. Why post such 10x did. Let people enjoy their peace and avoid poking your finger in other’s noses. Go work pay your bills!
