Does the government check if we are living together after marriage?

I have a J1 visa and I am marrying a U.S. citizen. besides having my future husband file the petition so I can get a greencard , is there anything else that will need to be done in order for me to get the card?


Do we need to live together after marriage, for example.Does the government check if we are living together after marriage?
sounds as if your only reason getting married to a US citizen was the greencard... i.e. ';Do we need to live together...'; Why would you ask this question if you werent trying to cheat the system to begin with?

The continued existance of your marriage is CERTAINLY going to decide whether you get a green card or not. Your husband can file a petition on your behalf immediately after marriage, BUT it would result in a conditional green card, 90 days prior to the 2nd anniversary of your civil partnership, both of you need to apply for the REMOVAL OF CONDITIONAL STATUS on your greencard. If either party objects to this, your green card will be revoked.


Another option is to wait for 2 years and apply for the unconditional status, you can hang on for a further 3 years to apply for US citizenship if you want...
You have to return to your own country while the spousal visa is processed -- a couple of years. This makes it more difficult to prove a valid marriage unless you live together in your country. And it takes a whole lot more than just living under the same roof to prove a valid marriage.





You are committing marriage fraud -- and they will spot it. That gets him up to 10 years in prison + $250,000 fine, and gets you deported and permanently barred. Forget marriage as a route to a green card.
First off you are required to move back to your country for two years. So many people have been screwing that up that there is now a crack down on the Exchange Visitor Program. It has gotten so bad that some countries have decided that they no longer want to participate! You might want to look into a waiver! And yes the government will check to be sure you are living together.
Ohhh that will not work honey!


YES you have to move back and the people who interview you are trainned to find out and make sure your marriage is real.
