Green Cards through Marriage
The following is a top ten (10) list of practical advice regarding Green Cards through Marriage:
- Don’t bother with K1 finance or K3 spouse visas: They take too long to obtain and if you use an attorney you’ll end up paying twice or even three times.
- Marry your fiancé in the US and submit paperwork in the US. The process is easier and you and your loved one get to stay together.
- Foreign born persons that enter the US legally may apply to adjust status without leaving US.
- Be patient because you will have to organize a ton of supporting documents to prove your marriage is legitimate. The following is a list of the kinds of documentation required to prove the validity of your marriage:
- Birth certificates of any children born to the marriage.
- Joint Income Tax Returns and W-2 Forms.
- Deed, lease or rent receipts showing both your names.
- Health insurance policy with a family plan.
- Life insurance plan for either of you with the other listed as the beneficiary.
- Car insurance policy showing both names as listed drivers.
- Joint checking or savings account or bank book.
- Bank loan in both of your names.
- Credit arrangement in both of your names.Receipt for purchases showing both or your names.
- Bills (telephone, gas, electric, store, medical, credit card, etc.) in each of your names with your address or in both names.
- Employment record or job application if your spouse’s name appears on it.
- Any document which lists your spouse as person to be notified in case of an emergency.
- Any mail addressed to either or both of you at any place you have lived.
- Photographs of the two of your on special occasions, vacation, or with family members.
5. Hire an immigration attorney and make your life easier.
6. After your application is submitted, you’ll receive a receipt and a few months later you’ll get an interview.
7. At the interview, dress up and look professional.
8. Be prepared for the interview and remember you will be asked questions about your relationship so prepare with your
attorney. Proper preparation is perfectly legal.
9. Do it right. Wait at least 2 months in the US before getting married. Have a religious ceremony. Have a wedding ceremony. Make sure the family is present. Co-mingle your assets. Do everything together. Create a bank account together. Purchase a home together. Purchase a car together. The immigration officials are looking for prove of a valid marriage so think about that ahead of time and make your life easier when you do apply.
10. Remember use an Immigration Attorney. This is a complex process.
Good Luck.
