Common Law And Immigration

Can a U.S. citizen in an unmarried relationship sponsor his – or her – partner to become a permanent resident?

Maybe.

After all, not all couples who fall in love officially tie the knot.

Instead, they simply live together. They hold themselves out to friends, family and the community as being married but they never formalize the marriage.

Such relationships, commonly known as common law marriages, though not recognized in most states, can provide a pathway to a green card in some circumstances for an immigrant spouse.
