In this video, I'd like to briefly discuss
some of the red flags that you might encounter
on your journey to bringing in someone you love
from another country on a fiancé visa.
In recent weeks,
I've read several articles on the Internet where the fiancé visa process
has been under attack.
So, that leads me to believe that the current administration
is probably going to begin
a more continuous effort to attack
the fiancé visa process.
As you know, the fiancé visa process
can be labeled in a sense another form of family immigration.
Family immigration,
even legal family immigration,
has been under attack by the current administration
as being a form of chain migration, a family chain migration.
So, it's very important that you know
what's ahead and that you know what types of things to look out for.
So, when you prepare your petition to bring in
someone you love, you're ready and
you have all the evidence to submit.
So with that, let's get started.
Red flag number one, your relationship,
your engagement.
Can you prove that this is a bona fide relationship?
That is really what the fiancé visa process
is all about.
They want to weed out fraudulent attempts.
So, they're going to be looking at when did you meet
the person you fell in love with?
How often have you been in contact
with this person?
How many times did you physically visit with this person?
Did you actually come in physical contact?
Not to say that someone that meets online
that that couldn't be a legitimate relationship.
It very well could be,
but the proof is going to be harder,
and the less physical contact you have,
and the less time that you spent together in a relationship,
the greater the red flag for the government.
You have to prove that this is a bona fide relationship.
So, be careful about that.
The second thing is immigration history.
For instance, if you've been involved in . . .
let's say you've had two or three divorces,
and one or even both of your previous spouses
were from another country,
and you tried to immigrate them.
Well, they're going to be looking at that.
They're going to be looking at that because they might be thinking
that, hey, the previous divorces weren't real.
Maybe they were a little fraudulent?
Maybe you were paid to bring them into the country?
Or, on the other hand, your fiancé
in the country abroad,
have they been married?
Have they been the beneficiary
of a previous fiancé visa petition?
Have they perhaps come in and out
of the United States and overstayed their visa?
Have they ever been denied entry to the United States?
These are issues that are definitely
going to be looked at during the fiancé visa process,
and that will probably be questioned of the immigrant spouse
or the immigrant soon-to-be spouse at their fiancé visa interview.
The third item is culture,
or as some folks say, commonality.
Are you, say, from two different religions?
How big is the age gap?
Is there a racial difference?
Is there an ethnic difference?
Are you say even
let's say you, the petitioner, is highly educated,
has advanced degrees in college,
and the immigrant soon-to-be spouse is
not educated, speaks very little English,
has two or three children from a previous relationship.
They're going to be looking at that to see if that's a real relationship,
if that's a legitimate relationship,
and so, you have to be prepared for that.
The less commonality you have.
Does the person speak English
from the other country,
or do you speak their native language?
Those are the issues you're going to have to be aware of
when it comes to culture.
And marriage history,
I mentioned that when I was talking about immigration history.
If you've been previously married,
or if your fiancé has been previously married,
and they also filed immigration petitions
that failed for one reason or another,
they're going to be looking at that.
You certainly want to make sure
that when you decide to file papers
to bring in your fiancé,
that you know what papers they have filed,
if they have ever filed immigration papers,
if they've ever entered the United States.
Those are issues that you have to raise.
Of course, if you met in the United States,
that's another story.
You know they've been in the US.
But then again, did they fulfill the terms of
their tourist visa or their student visa?
In other words, did they leave on time?
The fifth red flag is supporting evidence.
Can you support the relationship?
If you visited your fiancé in his or her home country,
do you have hotel receipts?
Do you have plane receipts?
Did you guys go to restaurants?
Did you spend time together going to a movie or some cultural event?
Did you spend time at family functions?
Do you have photos?
Did you meet your fiancé's family,
or, if on the other hand, your fiancé came to the United States,
do you have photos of introducing your fiancé to your family,
to your parents, to your brothers and sisters,
to your friends, to your co-workers?
Do you have proof of their receipts here in the United States?
That's the type of supporting evidence
that can be real critical in these types of cases,
and that you definitely,
definitely want to provide the government
which takes us into the sixth area,
family and friends.
Do you know your fiancé's friends?
Do you know your fiance's family?
Does your fiancé know your family and
your friends over here?
What do they know about your work history?
What do you know about their work history?
What do you know about their life over there
and who they hang out with, and what they do daily,
and what do they know about you?
What do they do during the day?
Who do they live with? Who do they hang out with?
Who do they work with?
Who are their family?
Who are their friends?
You want to know that.
These are really, really important issues.
Now, where this could become a real issue in
some cases is take a same sex situation marriage
where the marriage is two individuals of the same sex.
Now, in some cultures, that's taboo so it's kept very secret.
You don't share that.
In that case, there may not be a lot of evidence of family and friends
because the immigrant spouse is sort of hiding
that information.
That can also be if an immigrant spouse, let's say,
is a younger female,
and they're marrying an older male in the United States
or vice versa, older female,
younger male, and
they're not too keen on the age difference,
and so they sort of hide it.
Well, the government is going to look very harshly on that
because, it's like, what tells us that you're a real couple?
What tells us that you share things together?
That you're going to share your life together?
That this is a legitimate marriage
despite the age differences?
That's red flag number six.
And then after marriage, what are your plans after marriage?
What do you know about your fiancé, again?
What does your fiancé know about you, again?
What type of job do you have,
and what are your career goals?
Has your fiancé,
has she or he attended college in their home country?
Do they have career goals when they get to the United States?
Do they understand English
or are they going to take classes here to improve their English
so that they can contribute to their education,
to the household expenses by getting a better paying job?
What are you going to do after marriage?
What's the plan?
Is your fiancé going to move in with you to the United States?
Are you going to move out of your current, say,
one bedroom apartment to a bigger place?
What are your plans?
Share those plans.
Document those plans, and if you have friends, have them document it too.
Anyway, these are just some of the red flags that you should be looking for
when you're seeking to bring in a person
that you love through a fiancé visa.
There is no set formula
of what you should provide, but these are basics.
These are like common sense factors if you're really,
really going to marry this person.
You really love this person.
These are things that you would likely know,
and because your relationship is legitimate,
it's just a matter of staking your claim
and becoming super-prepared
and preparing the documentation correctly,
and then filing your papers.
With that, I wish you the best of luck.
I've included at the end of this video
a link to a guide for fiancé visa marriage interview,
a checklist of questions that you might want to review.
In any event, I wish you and the love of your life
the best of luck going forward. Take care.
