Avoiding and Overcoming Allegations of Marriage Fraud (Live Seminar)

Product not yet rated

Dealing with allegations of marriage fraud (and other relevant issues) is an ever-present challenge for immigration attorneys. These claims can arise in a variety of circumstances, including I-130 or I-140 petitions, the I-751 context, and in connection with VAWA cases. Our panel of experts will share tips for persuasively documenting a bona fide marriage, and they will advise on how to challenge allegations of marriage fraud at both the administrative and federal court levels. 

Featured Topics 

  • Compiling persuasive evidence to demonstrate a bona fide marriage, particularly in the age of interview waivers
  • Blurred lines: failure to meet burden of proof vs. substantial evidence of marriage fraud 
  • Post-denial options: BIA appeal vs. refiling 
  • Litigating INA §204(c) denials in federal court
  • Marriage fraud allegations in the I-751 and VAWA contexts
