American relative immigration conditions

1. Conditions for spouses to immigrate

Spouse immigration includes two kinds of people: the first is the spouse of an American citizen, who is not subject to quota restrictions and can be approved quickly as long as he applies;

The second is the spouse of the American green card holder, who is restricted by quota and belongs to the second priority immigration.

Since this immigration application is based on marriage, marriage must be valid before applying for immigration. Applicants (American citizens or green card holders) must provide the marriage certificates of the applicant and the beneficiary when submitting their immigration applications to the Immigration Bureau. If one or both parties remarry, it is also necessary to provide proof that both parties have legally ended all marriages before.

In addition to the marriage certificate, other auxiliary materials are also reference objects. Such as: wedding photos or other family photos, proof of husband and wife's property lease, tax bill, proof that the spouse is the beneficiary of life insurance, mortgage loan and common consumption loan, or a fine of $250,000. Foreigners with false marriage records may not apply for immigration to the United States on the grounds of marriage.

Foreigners who apply for a green card through marriage can only get two years of conditional permanent residency, that is, two years of temporary green card. When applying for an immigrant visa, foreigners who have been legally married for two years can obtain formal permanent residency.

If the marriage relationship is proved to be false within the two-year inspection period, or there is separation or divorce within two years, or the marriage relationship is proved to contain money disputes, the permanent residency of immigrants will be revoked and they will be deported.

If there is no fake marriage during the two-year residence restriction period, both husband and wife can apply for permanent residence 90 days before the second anniversary of marriage, which shows that their marriage relationship is true. After individual inquiries by immigration officials, the motivation and current situation of marriage are further examined. After examination, if the possibility of fake marriage is ruled out, immigration officials will lift the two-year limited residence restriction and give permanent residence certificates.
