We have a few accounts, and you can send us a DM over there and continue the conversation
there as well. In this video, we're going to answer the question, can someone be deported
even if they're married to a US citizen? Well, the answer is yes, generally. So, what is
important is if you're married to a US citizen, you're trying to qualify to get a green card
based on marriage. Well, there are actually four things that they're looking for when
you get a green card based on marriage. Number one, it has to be a real and bona fide marriage.
Number two, we have to prove that you had a lawful entry, whether the person actually
came to the United States legally and now they're adjusting their status based on marriage
to a United States citizen. Number three, we have to prove that the US citizen can support
the immigrant, the sufficient income. And finally, that the medical exam is clear, and
everything is good on the health so the person can actually immigrate. So, those four things
must be in place for somebody to be able to immigrate based on marriage to a United States
citizen. Now, if any of those things are not there, the person can get denied and eventually
get deported. Now, there's a big misconception that people think just because they're married
to a United States citizen, they can stay and live in the US. No. If you marry a United
States citizen, there is an eligibility factor for you to be able to file for your green
card. If you're just married the United States citizen, nothing's going to happen. You can
be… there are people who live here for years, married a United States citizen and they have
no status. Either because they didn't know or they couldn't afford to file or whatever
the reason is. So, the fact that you are married to a United States citizen, makes you eligible
to file for a green card, as long as you meet those four requirements. So again, enter the
US legally, If you're not here legally, even if you married a United States citizen, you're
not able to file your case from inside the United States; that it's a real marriage,
if they find out that it's a fraud marriage, it’s a sham marriage, either in the interview
or after the interview, you can get deported, even if you're married to a United States
citizen; if the income requirements are not sufficient, if you don't have a co-sponsor
and you fail that requirement, the 45 will be denied, the case will be denied, you will
be deported; and finally, and this is a rare occurrence anymore, but if the medical exam
is somehow not good, or if you refuse to get some vaccinations or whatever, then you're
45 Adjustment of Status will not be approved and you'll be denied and that denial will
cause you to be removed. So again, the concept or the myth of you being married to a United
States citizen, and therefore allowing you to stay here and protecting you from deportation
is just a myth. And even people that are currently here overstayed and then they are apprehended
by ICE, and they are facing or removal proceedings, just the fact that they're going to marry
a United States citizen while they're in detention or if they're on bond, that marriage alone
is not going to save them, they're still gonna have to prove to the government that it's
a real marriage and all these other factors. Because we have clients that are now being
detained and they had a girlfriend or they're dating somebody, and now they realize they
have to marry them because they want to stay in the country. Again, that marriage alone
is not going to save them unless they meet all these other requirements. The US government
is really careful to avoid fraud. So, they don't want people to just marry US citizens,
pay them, or whatever they do, to be able to stay there. So, therefore, there are protections
in the law to avoid that. So again, to answer the question, marrying a US citizen alone
is not going to help somebody from being deported. If they don't meet all the other requirements
that will give them the eligibility to get a green card and stay here eventually, legally.
