My husband works in the United States and just applied for a green card (now it is a temporary green card)

Family reunion may be the most successful reason in the application of American relatives for immigration. American citizens' spouses applying for immigration are not only simple in materials, but also do not have to wait for quotas, enjoy a wide range of exemptions, and the approval time may be faster. On the other hand, however, American citizens can get married and divorce at any time, and with the freedom of American society, marriage and divorce are commonplace. In this case, the convenience of getting a green card through marriage is obvious.

Because it is easy to get a green card when getting married, as long as both parties agree, fake marriage has been very common since the early 1980s. The most obvious example is the divorce on the day of getting a green card. According to the estimation of the Immigration Bureau, at least half of the marriages between American citizens and foreigners are for the purpose of green cards. Some marriages are just green card transactions. In order to stop and prevent the fraud of applying for a green card by marriage, the US Congress promulgated the amendment 1986 on immigrant marriage fraud, and later promulgated a number of related regulations. A complete set of regulations and procedures has been formed in the examination, procedures, restrictions and various special circumstances of marriage-based immigration applications.

It is a criminal offence to apply for a green card for a fake marriage.

It is a criminal offence for anyone to apply for permanent residence on the grounds of fake marriage. If it is verified, criminal investigation and punishment will be carried out by the judicial organs, including imprisonment, deportation and permanent ban on applying for a green card. In this kind of fraud cases, green cards are generally used to buy and sell marriages. Therefore, the Immigration Bureau will focus on examining whether there is a buying and selling relationship in the application of marriage immigrants.

Because of the complexity and variability of marriage, it is impossible for immigration authorities to judge whether marriage is true or false when applying for immigration on the grounds of marriage. Therefore, the law stipulates that any foreigner who marries an American citizen can obtain a conditional green card only after his immigration application is approved. Green card holders enjoy the same rights and interests as permanent green card holders, but conditional green cards are only valid for 2 years. If the original marriage continues to exist after the expiration of 2 years, you can apply for a permanent green card. In addition, even if the applicant's temporary green card is converted into a permanent green card after two years, if the applicant divorces and remarries after obtaining a permanent green card, if he wants to apply for immigration for a new spouse, he must apply after the expiration of the permanent green card for five years.

Marriage interview has become a routine procedure for applying for immigration on the grounds of marriage. Generally speaking, if married couples have great differences in age and cultural background, they are all key interviewees. However, if the other applicant is not in the United States or does not apply for adjustment of identity, the Immigration Bureau will generally not ask for an interview with Chen's application. Different immigration officials usually have different interview methods and procedures.

When the temporary green card expires two years later, if the marriage continues, the cardholder and his American spouse should jointly apply for canceling the conditions and applying for a permanent green card. The joint application must be signed by the temporary green card holder and his spouse. The so-called marriage continues to exist, that is, there is no divorce in law, even though both parties may be in the process of divorce.

There are clear legal restrictions on the time limit of two years. The so-called two years refers to two years of marriage, not two years after the temporary green card is approved. In other words, the applicant applies for a green card within two years after marriage, and the approved green card is a conditional green card, which is valid for only two years. However, the applicant applied for a green card after two years of marriage, and the approved green card was a permanent green card. Therefore, the conditions for changing the permanent green card or applying for cancellation only refer to the green card that was put forward and approved within two years of marriage. However, applicants should bear in mind that a two-year marriage period is almost a fixed rule, with a few exceptions (such as being abused). Even if their American spouse dies, they must meet certain conditions to get a permanent green card.

If, for some reason, when the temporary green card is about to expire, the applicant's spouse refuses to sign a joint application as a condition for its termination, the applicant can apply for the termination condition separately, and at the same time apply for exemption from submitting a joint application, with emphasis on the explanation or proof of the reasons why his spouse refuses to sign a joint application. The applicant must prove that one of the following three conditions is met:

(1) The marriage between the two parties started from a real marriage, not to get a green card. The changes after marriage are beyond the control of the applicant and are not the responsibility of the applicant.

(2) If the applicant leaves the United States or is deported, it will bring great difficulties to himself or his family.

(3) The applicant (or) and his children are cruelly abused.
