They both pleaded guilty to the charge which alleged that on September 10, 2016, at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) Timehri, East Bank Demerara with the intent to defraud R. Mcfoy, a Custom Service agent of Caribbean Airlines, one People of the Republic of China’s passport holding numbers E50174580 and E73433258 respectively, in favour of themselves with a forged Canadian visa holding numbers C126872082 inserted on page 23 and C130182413 inserted on page 8, respectively, with knowledge of same being false.
Their representing Attorney, Paul Fung-A-Fat made a petition for leniency stating that the defendants were both sorry for what they did and would like to return home to seek medical attention for Liwei who was suffering from pyle.

Tip of the iceberg of a program that has been in existence a long time. Once ,I was at the US embassy to pick up some documentation when I saw this Chinese fellow (Around twenty five years) with his Guyana passport and an interpreter trying to pick up his US visa.
Which twenty something year Chino-Guyanese needs an interpreter to visit the US Embassy?
