Garland, TX asked in Immigration Law for Texas

Q: Will there be issues with my application for sponsoring my spouse through green card marriage?

Recently married my spouse three months after I ended an engagement where I applied for a fiance visa with my then fiance. My current spouse's visa has been expired for more than 180 days. We have applied for a marriage green card. We do have an age gap of 15 yrs and her parents did provide us a hefty dowry. Will my previous application for a fiance visa be cause this application to be denied?

A: No, your previous application for a fiancée visa for another woman will not be grounds to deny your present marriage green card case, but it will command stricter scrutiny by USCIS.
