A Filipina who had pleaded guilty to lying to Immigration officers to get a domestic helper’s visa and conspiring with another to defraud the Immigration Department, had her sentencing scheduled for today at Shatin Court put off for more two months.
Acting Principal Magistrate Cheang Kei-hong adjourned the
case against Annabelle Isidro, 56 years old, to Sept. 4.
Isidro was charged with making a false representation to an
Immigration officer on Nov. 5, 2022 when she claimed falsely that she would be
working as a domestic helper for a certain Chu Ka-kit, contrary to section
42(1)(a) if the Immigration Ordinance.

She was also charged with conspiracy to defraud for having declared
falsely to Immigration officers between December 2024 and March 19, 2025, with
the help of a certain “Gege”, that she would work for a certain Choi Wa-yee.
This lie induced Immigration officers “to grant you
permission to reman in Hong Kong, under circumstances in which they would not
otherwise have granted such permission,” according to the complaint filed
against her.
The offense was contrary to Common Law, Criminal
Jurisdiction Ordinance and Crimes Ordinance, the complaint added.
