Documents for Marriage Fraud Interview

If  you are called into a marriage fraud interview, it is your burden to prove that your marriage is bona fide and not a sham just to get a green card.

The following may trigger suspicion of fraud:

• Petitioner and petitioner are of different race or national origin;
• Petitioner and petitioner have different addresses.
• The couple do not speak the same language.
• There is a big difference in age between the Petitioner and petitioner.
• They have a difference in the cultural and religious background.
• Great diffrence in  in educational level between the couple
• The application was not properly prepared and may contain inconsistencies.

Understand that it’s not one of these factors that could trigger a marriage fraud
interview, but a combination of factors that leads the immigration examiner to
suspect that the marriage is  not “bona fide.”  It appears that the couple entered
into the marriage to evade the immigration laws.
