Marriage Based Visa Approved without Rfe

The couple had been in a genuine romantic relationship prior to marriage and decided to formalize their commitment in New York. 

A Marriage Based Visa requires proof that the marriage was entered into in good faith rather than for immigration purposes. 

Legal counsel emphasized the importance of documenting the couple’s shared life and long-term intent.

Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, spouses of U.S. Citizens are classified as immediate relatives. 

This classification provides significant advantages in a Marriage Based Visa case, including exemption from visa quotas and certain unlawful presence bars. 

Legal review confirmed that the applicant was eligible to adjust status within the United States.

A Marriage Based Visa petition must establish that the marriage is real and ongoing. 

Evidence submitted in this case included joint financial records, shared residence documentation, photographs, and personal affidavits. 

By presenting a consistent narrative supported by objective evidence, the Marriage Based Visa application met USCIS expectations.

Requests for Evidence often arise when documentation is incomplete or inconsistent. 

In this New York case, the Marriage Based Visa petition was organized to address common red flags in advance. 

As a result, USCIS approved the petition without requesting additional proof.

U.S. Immigration law provides special protections for immediate relatives of U.S. Citizens. 

In many cases, prior unlawful presence does not prevent approval of a Marriage Based Visa when adjustment of status is properly filed. 

Legal analysis confirmed that these exceptions applied, allowing the case to proceed without a waiver.

Because the marriage was less than two years old at the time of approval, USCIS issued conditional permanent residence.

A Marriage Based Visa under these circumstances results in a two-year conditional green card.

Legal counsel advised the couple on future steps, including the removal of conditions process.

USCIS approved the immigrant petition without a Request for Evidence, and the adjustment of status application was approved the following day. 

The applicant received conditional permanent resident status, marking a significant milestone. 

This outcome reflects the effectiveness of a well-prepared Marriage Based Visa case.
