How Would You Prove You Had a Genuine Marriage for Immigration?
The disheartening way the U.S. government verified ours
I married Sasmita after she immigrated to the US on a K-1 fiancee visa. You have 90 days to marry after your intended spouse enters the country.
There’s a general familiarity with this process, it’s been parodied in films and television. There’s a reality show called ‘90-day Fiance’ about this unique immigration method.
It’s a two-part process. The first is demonstrating you have a real relationship and are planning to marry. The couples needs to illustrate that the reason for immigration is not solely financial or citizenship. Proving so will procure the K-1 visa.
The second step requires proving your marriage is genuine after the ceremony.
What documentation proves a real relationship?
The couple submits documentation to the United States government of a ‘real’ relationship.
We presented a one-and-a-half-inch stack of paperwork with our relationship bona fides, including:
✓ pictures of us together, taken all over India
✓ hotel copies of guest registration forms
