Liwen Tang was due to appear for her initial appearance before U.S. District Court for the NMI Chief Judge Ramona V. Manglona, who imposed $2,000 bail.
Tang was arrested in Dandan on Oct. 5, 2011 after an indictment was returned by a grand jury last Sept. 22, 2011.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Beverly R. McCallum, the prosecutor, filed the indictment against Tang.
The indictment stated that Tang made a false statement in her Form I-485, an application to register permanent residence or adjustment of status with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Tang stated that her only child was her daughter born in 2006.
On or about April 2002, Tang gave birth to a son whose biological father was Abdullah al Mamun who was listed on the child’s birth certificate, the indictment stated.
Tang issued the statement under oath on or about Dec. 21, 2009, while her filled out Form I-485 was received by USCIS on or about Aug. 31, 2009.
