Hello. Congratulations on considering marriage-based immigration to the United States.
To immigrate to the United States through marriage, you must marry a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and accordingly you must apply for U.S. permanent residency.
A U.S. citizen can file an immigration petition for their spouse, and through this, an I-130 petition must be submitted.
After the I-130 is approved, the foreign spouse proceeds with an immigrant visa application or an adjustment of status procedure.
The list of mandatory documents to submit is as follows.
- Marriage certificate
- Passport
- Identification card
- Criminal record certificate, medical examination results
Afterward, an immigration interview will take place, and if it is discovered that this is a sham marriage, it may be regarded as immigration fraud, and you could be held criminally liable.
In addition, disadvantages such as future immigration denial may follow, so you should be careful.
The assistance of an immigration attorney is not essential for U.S. marriage-based immigration, but because a mistake during the immigration process can result in denial, we strongly recommend that you receive an attorney's help.
Daeryun provides one-on-one customized assistance across all stages, from the I-130 filing to receipt of permanent residency.
In particular, an attorney specializing in U.S. law provides assistance so that the client's immigration process can proceed smoothly.
I sincerely wish you a happy married life and a smooth immigration process.
If necessary, please reach out to an immigration attorney at Daeryun Law LLC at any time.
