US Immigration Lawyer Details New Scrutiny on Marriage Green Cards, Emphasizing CohabitationPreviousNext

US immigration attorney Brad Bernstein explains that marriage-based Green Card applications now require couples to demonstrate cohabitation, not just marital status. Officials scrutinize whether spouses live together daily, with work-related travel or temporary separations not accepted as valid reasons for living apart. Bernstein warns that failing to live together raises significant red flags and can lead to application denial under current enforcement practices.
