I think that initially it will help them by getting them a temporaryreprievestay but then inevitably the other side will hire an attorneyinvestigators and the policeprosecutoretc will examine things andultimately in the end the person who decided to u201cclaim domestic violenceu201d toget a reprieve will likely face jail time followed by deportation and apossible ban on reentry.Once the person winds up in removal proceedings and they will eventually getinto removal proceedings if I had any say in the matter I would recommendthem for a lifetime ban based on what appeared to be a sham marriage toobtain an immigration benefit compounded by the fraud of a false accusationof domestic violence to try to trigger a stay of removal.If your plan is to lie your way into being able to stay in the USA then goodluck with that because when they figure it out notice I said u201cwhenu201d notu201cifu201d then you should expect to be deported and subjected to a substantialand possibly permanent ban.
