The court heard that Jimenez was unable to renew her six-month work permit because of the Ministry of Manpower’s regulations stating that foreign performing artistes cannot renew their permit until one year after the last one expires or gets cancelled. Sometime in November or December 2022, she told Fauzy that she needed to marry someone to get a long-term visit pass to stay here to work.

Court documents stated that Jimenez’s sole purpose to engage in a marriage of convenience with Fauzy was for her to obtain an “immigration advantage”. Jimenez gave him S$30 each time he sponsored her application, plus another S$20 to S$70 to cover his meals.ICA’s prosecution officer Aricia Tan sought a jail sentence of six months for Jimenez’s offences.
