from what I can gather by translate this is something that has already been talked about where USCIS has the right to deny a petition if not completed properly without the issuance of a RFE.

 

It further talks about maintaining a marriage for the entire 3 years when applying for citizenship or it will be denied

 

so things we already knew?

Yes and then he says you will have to be married for 3 years or they can also deny it which is crazy if it’s true 

they can deny it if you apply for citizenship based on the 3 year rule as you can apply for citizenship if you are in the same marriage to the same USC for the last 3 years. 

 

it has nothing to do with denying a visa if you haven't been married for 3 years.

YES!!

 

it looks like it was taken out of context and not properly investigated IMO

According to the poster above you, you're misunderstanding.  A spouse of a USC can file for citizenship at the 3 year mark of being an LPR.  You must be in a marital union before filing and must remain married to gain citizenship at this time.  So this is nothing new.

OK. I listened to a bit and apologize if I didn't translate well. But it sounds like the person they are interviewing is talking about possible changes to immigration and being married to a US citizen for a period of time is one of them. I think he even explained early on in the interview about immigration crack downs on fraud marriages.

 

There are plenty of talks about possible changes to immigration. In fact, VJ has ongoing threads regarding immigration reform and changes. Nothing has changed in immigration because it has to go through Congress first and there hasn't been any such changes presented as of yet. 

 

Also, there is no citing of reliable sources (US gov) for these changes in this news story.

 

This is simply a news story about changes that may come.

This news segment looks like another video article to try and spread fear among the Latino audience no thing more. Unfortunately there are people that will take this at face value and believe because to be honest who wouldn't coming from a news site like Univision. 

 

@GVANESSA233 thank you for bringing this to our attention because I am sure other people may come here on here asking about it saying "I heard that we have to be married now for 3 years before petitioning" without doing the proper digging like you did. 

 

Honestly I think a number of this videos are put out to make money for lawyers. Someone from Univision must be getting a cut from all this misinformation.

Congress at this time is not working on any legal immigration changes/ they are focused on DACA and illegal

 

and to tell you the truth,  the CO at any embassy can deny a CR1/IR1 at any time for whatever reason they come up with for thinking a marriage is not bona fida

This is why we don't watch Univision news anymore.  They like to spread drama and fake news about immigration.

Definitely misinformation.

I have seen a lot of misinformation circulating recently on websites / new stations that cater largely to the Latino population. It is a damn shame because it sends many people into freak-out mode, which is then shared with friends and family, etc. and quickly becomes a nightmare.

 

While I don't think that most of these articles are intended to spread misinformation, I think they mostly end up doing that because whoever ends up writing on them often does not know the context. As we all know, there is a LOT that goes into understanding these petitions and the details are constantly changing. Double and triple check EVERYTHING you hear and all sources, even the most reputable ones, before making a decision and taking any action based on what you hear on the news or read online.

Exactly this right here.

I'm a little rusty, but it sounds like the statements are correct. The interpretation of them...not so much. People seem to be jumping the gun here.

Changes like that will require an act of Congress, and based the current situation in the Congress I doubt the Democrats will agree to something like that. Basically, let's just say it ain't happening anytime soon.

He is talking about Citizenship, no green card applicans

It has always been a requirement to stayed married if they want to get the citizenship in the three year period, this is from USCS page.  If they get divorce, he/She can apply for citizenship after 5 years.
