Sure, the GP was talking about marriage fraud, but I was under the impression that the post I was replying too was making a general statement that GC through marriage in general was not guaranteed. My bad for misunderstanding.
My XP is only one data point of course, but the process was not invasive at all. We had to provide some documentation (e.g. statements of shared bank account, utility bills with our names), go through a 30-ish minute interview where we had to explain how we met, how we got engage, etc and that was it. Now, maybe when the USCIS suspects fraud they start digging a little more and it gets painful.
- stormbrew 8y agoThe people I know had friends interviewed and it took quite a long time (a couple years at least) of that sort of thing for whatever reason. It still took quite a few years for even permanent residence, afaik citizenship was never even obtained. I don't doubt that the experiences vary. But the entire point of my reply was that you can't just buy into citizenship with marriage because they will deny you if they find out you did that, ergo it is not guaranteed.
