Applying for a marriage-based green card in Illinois is a detailed process. One of the most important parts of the process is proving your marriage is genuine. Despite the fact that some individuals attempt to exploit the marriage-based immigration pathway for the sole purpose of obtaining a green card, the vast majority of marriage-based green card applications are aimed at family reunification and are very real.
Unfortunately, the few who exploit the system have made many people skeptical about the sincerity of marriage-based green cards. Since one of those skeptics could be conducting your interview, it is especially important that you are 100 percent prepared, know what documentation you need, and which red flags to watch out for. In short, you will be asked to provide strong evidence that your marriage is based on a real, ongoing relationship.
