Is this you?
My future spouse is from abroad and I believe I may need to file a marriage-based immigration application.

Do any of these apply to you?

• There is a significant age difference between me and my spouse.
• We had a brief courtship and were engaged or married on our first in-person meeting.
• My foreign spouse does not speak English well.
• We have spent very little time together in person so far.
• My future spouse was denied a visitor or other visa before.
• We may have made some false statements or used fraudulent documents previously in applying for immigration.
• My future spouse was here before and overstayed the term of his or her visa.
• My future spouse did not enter the country legally.
• My future spouse was deported or removed from this country previously.
• My future spouse has a criminal record, or I have one.
• My future spouse has an illness.
• We don’t have a lot of documents proving the extent of our relationship.
• I have an unstable financial situation as the sponsor.
• I am confused about what to do.
• I am overwhelmed by all the immigration paperwork.
• I can’t get a straight answer from immigration officials or advisors.
