Yes, that is absolutely illegal and it's called "fraud".

If you are here on a visa/green card you are seriously jeopardizing your status in this country.

Yes, it's illegal.

How do you plan to fix the situation?

How long has this been going on for?

 

[eerelations]

Wow! That's totally illegal! You're going to be in so much trouble when your employer and US immigration find out! Wow!

 

[commentator]

And you want to "build her credit" so you can borrow money in her name and rip somebody else off. Wow.

If you are working and she is staying home, what would be the upside to your NOT working and letting the credit build in her name, other than that there may already be some bad credit, unpaid debts and such in your name?

You obviously do not understand the cross matching and checks that are in place if one works for a covered employer using any social security number. The unemployment system, the social security system, the IRS, all of these entities share information and their systems busily cross match all social security numbers for anyone reporting wages on taxes, payroll records, etc. This will happen long before you have "built up credit" for her anywhere.

And do you think they won't notice you're suddenly Mary Doe and not John?

Yes, it’s illegal, I think you know it’s illegal, and you are going to get caught.

In addition to crossmatching social security numbers, various types of other data can be checked, crossmatched, etc. There are no secrets. It’s just a matter of time before you are caught, and you will be in deep, very serious trouble.

Why did you think that might not be illegal? Of course, it is illegal.
