By Héctor Benítez, immigration attorney at Benme Legal

Marriage-based immigration cases are now facing closer scrutiny from the authorities. Our attorney Héctor Benítez explains what’s being reviewed and why it’s so important to handle every case with clarity and care.

What happens when authorities detect inconsistencies or possible irregularities in a case? In these processes, they assess whether the marriage is genuine and whether the information presented is consistent across all documents and statements. When contradictions come up—dates that don’t match, details that differ between forms, or insufficient evidence of a shared life—the case can lead to Requests for Evidence, more rigorous interviews, investigations, or, in the most serious cases, a denial.

That’s why our team’s recommendation is clear:

● Be truthful and consistent. All information must be accurate and match across your different applications.

● Document your story. Gathering solid evidence of a real relationship is just as important as the filing itself.

● Prepare ahead of time. Good preparation, especially for the interview, reduces risks and avoids surprises.

Handling every process with organization, honesty, and professional support is the best way to protect your case.
