A CHINESE man applying for asylum in the United States expedited his deportation after he submitted false information to the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration.
Can Feng Chen, 32, entered a guilty plea to an indictment charging him with false swearing in an immigration matter.
The District Court of Guam accepted his guilty plea and scheduled a sentencing on his case for May 15, 2007 at 9:30 a.m.
Chen reportedly submitted an application for asylum and for withholding of removal and an affidavit to the Immigration and Naturalization Services.
In his application, Chen identified himself as Chen Long, a male born on Oct. 15, 1974.
Chen admitted that he knew that the information he submitted was false.
False swearing in an immigration matter is a criminal case that constitutes a term of 10 years maximum sentence of imprisonment, $250, 000 fines, and a term of supervised release of not more than three years, in addition to any terms of imprisonment.
He entered a guilty plea a month after he was indicted in December 2006.
