When Immigration Investigates Your Living Situation to Ensure you are Married

It is your burden to demonstrate that the marriage upon which you seek permanent residence was bona fide at its inception. You must do this by objective evidence of the marriage. If the marriage was, indeed, not a real marriage, then the government could allege that you have engaged in marriage fraud and you could be prosecuted for that.

If that is the case, you need to consult with both a Colorado immigration attorney and a criminal attorney. If the marriage was a real marriage at its inception, then the government could deny the case and initiate removal proceedings against you at which time you may seek to renew your application for residency based on the marriage before an immigration judge.
