Absolutely. The penalty for a foreign national entering into a fraudulent marriage to obtain permanent resident status and/or citizenship is a federal felony that carries a mandatory prison sentence of 5 years and a $200,000 fine if convicted. The person would also be subject to prosecution for domestic violence. After the convicted person has served their sentence they will be deported and permanently barred from entry into the U.S.
