DOJ Files Show Epstein Network Used Visas and a Marriage to Keep Women in U.S.

Reporters say the documents outline a playbook of visa tactics centered on Karyna Shuliak's path from student to citizen.

Overview

  • Newly released Justice Department materials detail recurring use of English‑language schools, student I‑20s and work petitions to manage the immigration status of foreign women linked to Jeffrey Epstein.
  • Karyna Shuliak married a U.S. citizen on October 9, 2013, then obtained a family‑based green card by early 2015 and U.S. citizenship in 2018 before later divorcing, according to the records.
  • Emails show Epstein helped with Shuliak’s Columbia dental school admission and sought high‑level legal help, with references to Greg Craig and a suggested ‘heads‑up’ to Ali Mayorkas, though there is no indication Mayorkas was aware or involved.
  • Documents describe tuition sponsorships for language programs, repeated requests for I‑20s and shipments of TOEFL prep books to Epstein properties as part of a broader effort to secure or maintain student status.
  • The files also cite O‑1 and other work‑visa efforts and link Epstein’s financing of MC2 Model Management to visa activity, including testimony from a former bookkeeper that he paid for visas, while many petition outcomes remain unclear.
