| Shatin Court where the case is being heard |
A Filipina accused of filing a fake domestic helper contract with the Immigration Department to be able to get a visa, will have to wait another four months to find out what her punishment will be for the charge of conspiracy to defraud.
In the meantime, Elynette Montalban, 43 years old, will remain out on bail of $1,000.
During a hearing at Shatin Courts today, Principal Magistrate Amy Chan adjourned Montalban's sentencing to Sept. 26.
The Filipina had earlier pleaded guilty to filing with Immigration a fake work contract naming a certain Tam Ka-ki as employer.

She admitted committing the offense from June 2022 to April 26, 2023, allegedly with the help of Kathleen
Emily Vizcarra, who is facing similar charges and whose case will be moved up from Shatin to the District Court.
Montalban was found to have induced the Immigration Director and his officers “to act contrary to their public duty, to grant (her) permission to enter and remain in Hong Kong, under circumstances which they would not otherwise have granted.”
