Legal Question in Immigration Law in Illinois

Person X was employed at Company A during 1990 - 92. Company A sponsored him for Labor Certification and Permanent Resident [Green Card] status. A few months before the final INS interview for granting of Permanent Resident status, person X moved to Company B which did not verify his eligibility [immigration] status. During the INS interview several months later, he claimed [lied] that he was still employed at Company A. Permanent Status was granted and person X eventually went on to obtain Naturalized US Citizenship in 1998 - 99. What is INS's position on this type of fraud? Is there a statute of limitation that prevents further action on this matter? Can the INS take action against him after so many years have passed?

Hello:

There is no statute of limitations. His Green Card can be revoked and he can be deported.
