Proving a Good-Faith Marriage
Marriage petitions are only successful if the partners can prove that the marriage is in good faith and not just for the purpose of immigration.
Proof of a bona fide marriage includes:
- Joint bank statements.
- Children’s birth certificates.
- The marriage certificate.
- Proof that prior marriages have been terminated.
- Photos of the wedding and afterwards.
An immigrant visa based on marriage is considered an immediate family petition, therefore it is not subject to visa number limits and the intending immigrant spouse can immediately petition for their lawful permanent residency either through an adjustment of status or through the U.S. consulate if outside the United States.
Sham Marriage
Entering into a sham marriage for the purpose of receiving immigration benefits has severe consequences. Those caught violating the law may become inadmissible into the United States. You will not be eligible to receive any immigration benefit for life – there are very limited exceptions.
To avoid these potential penalties, we at Hurtado Immigration Law Firm highly advise against entering into a marriage simply for the immigration benefits. We are happy to help you gather evidence and documentation proving the legitimacy of your marriage.
