Visa:
Marriage

The marriage visa under the Family-Based category allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to bring their spouses to live permanently in the United States. There are two main subcategories within this visa category: marriages under two years and marriages over two years.

Eligibility Criteria

For the spouse to be eligible for a marriage visa, the following criteria must be met:

Qualified Petitioner

The visa petition must be filed by a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident.

Proof of Relationship

It is necessary to provide evidence of a genuine and legitimate relationship with the spouse, such as a marriage certificate, photos, correspondence, and other documents proving a bona fide and ongoing marriage.

Proof of Financial Capability

The petitioner must demonstrate financial ability to support the spouse and prevent them from becoming dependent on public assistance. This is typically done by submitting Form I-864, Affidavit of Support.
