Q: Okay I'm a US citizen I'm wondering how deep of a background check does u.s. immigration does
Because I would like to marry my Chinese girlfriend this summer I just want to know how far of a background they do so it does not affect her from getting a green card
A: In order for your girl friend to get a green card through marriage, she will need to go through a background security check to see if she has ever had any criminal charges or convictions, terrorist connections, US immigration law violations, or anything else else that might make her inadmissible to the United States. You should seek legal advice for full details.
