Immigration FAQ | Topic: Family Immigration FAQ
How do we prove our marriage is real to immigration?
Short answer: There is not always a fixed minimum marriage length, but immigration will review whether the marriage is real and documented.
CIS Law Office helps clients review immigration questions with attention to facts, documents, deadlines, and practical risk. A responsible answer should not promise an outcome, because immigration cases depend on evidence, immigration history, government discretion, and sometimes immigration court procedure.
During a consultation, the attorney can review the main question, explain what information is missing, and help organize the next steps. For this topic, it is usually useful to prepare:
- Identify the petitioner and beneficiary.
- Review entry, status, immigration history, and sponsor income.
- Prepare family evidence and civil documents.
This information is general and is not a substitute for legal advice. If you have a deadline, appointment, detention issue, denial, interview, or court date, it is better to get guidance before filing forms or making a decision that may affect your case.
