WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A MARRIAGE-BASED GREEN CARD
- You must be legally married (if you are not, we may be able to help you with a K visa for fiancees).
- The Immigration Service will check to make sure your relationship is real. Immigration has always scrutinized marriage cases to stop fraud.
- Domestic partnerships and civil unions aren’t recognized as marriage under federal law, so you won’t qualify for a marriage green card unless you’re officially married.
- Polygamy is not legally recognized in the United States. Even if legal in your country, it will not be upheld in the US.
