  • 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.
