If your marriage-based green card is denied, it’s important to understand why so you can decide your next steps. Common reasons for denial include missing documents, inconsistencies in your application, insufficient evidence of a genuine marriage, or issues in your immigration history. Once you receive a denial notice, you may have options like filing a Motion to Reopen or Reconsider if you believe there was an error in the decision.
You can also appeal the decision to the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) or reapply if the issues that led to the denial can be resolved. If you’re in the U.S. and your application is denied, you might also face removal proceedings, so it’s crucial to act quickly. Having an experienced immigration attorney can make a big difference in these cases.
