GUAM Police Department officer Joveno Catama Fernandez Jr. will enter a guilty plea on the charges of marriage fraud and perjury filed against him and a Chinese national, Ju Mi An.
Fernandez was indicted on July 26 after entering into a marriage with Ju Mi An for the purpose of evading immigration laws, according to the grand jury charges filed in the U.S. District Court of Guam.
On Wednesday, his attorney, Federal Public Defender John Gorman, filed a motion to schedule a change of plea hearing and vacate the Oct. 16 trial date of the police officer.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Joaquin Manibusan Jr. scheduled Fernandez’s change of plea hearing for Oct. 15 at 9 a.m.
The trial of Ju Mi An continued.
The “couple” reportedly got married on Oct. 11, 2006 on Guam.
On May 16, 2007, Fernandez took an oath to testify before Citizenship and Immigration Services adjudication officer Matthew Mumper concerning a petition for an alien relative signed by Fernandez on Feb. 2, 2007.
Fernandez allegedly stated a lie.
On the same occasion, Ju Mi An took an oath concerning an application to register a permanent resident status or adjust a status she signed on Feb. 2, 2007.
The Chinese national also lied in the immigration documents.
The couple was released on their own personal cognizance with several conditions such as staying away from all ports, surrendering firearm and firearm identification, and remaining at a fixed address.
