Li, who was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service, has been detained since his arrest on July 15, 2011.
Court-appointed defense attorney Mark Scoggins said his client was “disappointed, but respects the jury’s verdict.”
He added he will talk to his client for their post-trial action.
In a statement, U.S. Attorney for the Districts of Guam and the NMI Alicia A.G. Limtiaco said the case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations, with assistance of Customs and Border Protection.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Beverly R. McCallum prosecuted the case while Homeland Security Investigations special agent Michael Lansangan assisted in the prosecution.
The prosecution presented eight witnesses that included Pauline Renee Villagomez Manahane who supposedly married to Li on May 10, 2011.
But Li and Manahane, the indictment said, were never married to each other, and Li “signed and arranged for the completion of the application for marriage license and record of marriage which were presented to CBP inspectors.
The document fraud was related to Li’s possession and use of counterfeit parole documents at the Saipan international airport as he attempted to check in for a trip to California.
Li paid a private citizen over $1,000 in return for receiving false immigration documents that would allow him unlawfully to gain access to the states, the indictment said.
