When marrying an American citizen, it is often believed that obtaining housing for a foreigner is instantaneous.
However, it is not what always happens and for this reason it is preferable to be informed of the virtues and disadvantages of getting married in this area. In what cases is the American citizen prevented from requesting housing for his partner?
- In cases in which an American citizen has committed a crime that is described in the Adam Walsh Law (Child Custody Law)
- When the care statement does not comply with the correct sponsorship of cheap items, as established by law.
- When it is not feasible to prove the total capital of the person requesting the documentation and has lived outside the USA.
Can a foreigner still be denied housing when she has married a US citizen?
The answer is yes, and in truth there are numerous grounds on which a foreigner could be denied entry to the Green Card, either permanently or temporarily.
Any foreigner who has illegally crossed the US border will be persistently denied housing approval.
The immigrant visa will be denied for the spouse of a foreigner who has entered the US legally, but is currently undocumented for having overstayed the time allowed; however, for these situations, it is sometimes possible to get the Green Card.
What are the positive results of getting a Green Card by marrying an American citizen?
If the foreigner has children and marries an American citizen, they can automatically bring their children and request housing, as long as the children meet the requirements proposed by law (age, marital status, etc.)
After filling out 3 years of marriage it is feasible for the alien and their children to apply for and obtain US citizenship.
What inconveniences do they have the possibility of presenting themselves in the immigration status when marrying an American citizen?
There is the possibility of inconveniences in the approval of the Green Card, in the situation that an individual with a tourist visa, instantly contracts marriage with a US citizen.
This has the possibility of being considered a scam, and punishable by the laws of the USA. When all the “pre-marital” development was done with a citizen, but upon marriage the citizen is different from the one who was told throughout the development that precedes the marriage.
There is a legal problem when there is a foreigner with a persistent Green Card without having been married for two years to the American citizen.
They have the possibility of inconveniences of abuse and punishment during the time of purchase of the Green Card by the citizen abroad. If the US authorities detect any kind of fraud by a foreigner in the development of obtaining housing based on marriage, he will be punished instantly.
However, it must be borne in mind that the consequences and punishments are more severe for the foreign spouse than for the resident citizen.
