As USCIS becomes savvier in the evidence it uses, so must practitioners and their clients. This seminar discusses the ins and outs of marriage fraud concerns, how to help your clients gather evidence, and what they can expect going forward.
- Satisfying Yourself that the Marriage Is Valid, Deciding to Represent the Couple, and Initial Red Flags
- What Is Evidence of a Bone Fide Marriage?
- What Does USCIS Consider to Be Red Flags in a Case? Know Your Local USCIS Office
- How to Prepare Your Clients for the Interview

- Lasting Effects and Foreseeable Issues: I-751, Naturalization, etc.
