My sister is from the UK and has married a US citizen and currently resident in your country. I do not believe that she is going through the correct immigration procedures and may be resident illegally (an alien).
I am resident in the UK and currently administering our fathers estate, which entitles my sister to a sum of money.
Because my sister wishes to remain below the immigration radar she is unable to open a bank account. As a result she is asking me to transfer her inheritance into the bank account of her US husband.
Question; If I do this am I breaking laws in the US? I am concerned that this could be regarded as aiding and abetting any immigration crime that she may be committing.
Perhaps I'm just too sensitive but I'd hate to have a criminal record in the US and to be barred from ever visiting your beautiful country again.
Any advice gratefully received and will be faithfully applied.
