What a qualified marriage-based green cards lead should tell you

The questions your team needs answered
Every marriage-based green cards intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Are you seeking a green card based on marriage to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (green card holder)? | Confirms the lead is actually a marriage-based case rather than a mismatched inquiry for a different visa category. |
| Are you legally married to your spouse right now (not just engaged)? | Distinguishes an already-married applicant from someone only engaged, who needs a fiancé visa path instead. |
| Is your spouse willing to file immigration paperwork and financially sponsor you for the process? | Verifies the sponsoring spouse is actually willing to file and financially sponsor, without which the petition cannot move forward. |
| Do you and your spouse plan to stay married and can you show your marriage is real (for example, shared home, finances, photos, messages)? | Surfaces early bona fide marriage evidence, which is the core factor officers scrutinize for marriage-fraud concerns. |
| Are you currently in the United States? | Separates adjustment-of-status cases in the U.S. from consular-processing cases abroad, which follow different filing paths. |
| Have you ever been ordered removed/deported from the U.S. or been told you have a removal case in immigration court? | Flags an existing removal order or pending immigration court case that materially changes the case strategy. |
| Have you ever been arrested or convicted of any crime in the U.S. or another country? | Flags criminal history that could raise inadmissibility grounds requiring a waiver before the green card can proceed. |
| Have you ever used false documents, lied to immigration, or claimed to be a U.S. citizen? | Flags prior immigration fraud or false citizenship claims, which can create a lasting bar requiring specialized handling. |

Built for marriage-based green cards workflows
| Cliont capability | Marriage-Based Green Cards application |
|---|---|
| Weighted lead scoring | Marriage status, spousal sponsorship, and bona fide relationship evidence carry the highest weights, while removal history, criminal history, and fraud answers pull the score down before it reaches your CRM. |
| Conditional intake logic | An engaged-not-married answer can be recognized as a mismatch for this petition type, so the lead is scored and labeled differently than a legally married applicant. |
| Document capture | Marriage certificates and joint-life evidence are collected at intake so you can review supporting documentation before the first consultation. |
| Lower-fit flagging | Removal orders, criminal history, and false-document admissions are surfaced as explicit flags on the lead record rather than buried in free-text answers. |
Example marriage-based green cards lead scenarios
Illustrative situations explain the intake questions and possible follow-up.
Married spouse, ready to sponsor
Legally married, in the U.S., with a spouse willing to file and shared-life evidence already documented; intake scores this as a strong fit for a paid petition.
Engaged, not yet married
The couple hasn't married yet, so the marriage-status question comes back no; intake flags this as a lower-fit marriage-based lead better suited to a fiancé visa conversation.
Spouse still living abroad
The applicant answers no to currently being in the U.S., signaling a consular-processing path rather than adjustment of status, which changes the filing strategy before any consultation.
Prior removal order on record
The applicant discloses a past removal order or pending immigration court case; intake routes this as a lower-fit flag needing coordinated review rather than a routine green card intake.
Marriage authenticity in question
The couple can't yet point to shared home, finances, or documented history together; intake still captures the lead but scores it lower until bona fide evidence is stronger.

Marriage-Based Green Cards lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake separate a real marriage from a weak or risky one?
The intake directly asks whether the couple plans to stay married and can point to shared home, finances, photos, or messages, which weights the lead higher when that evidence already exists.
What happens if the applicant is only engaged, not married yet?
The marriage-status question catches this and scores the lead as lower-fit for a marriage-based case, since Cliont's sibling intake for Fiance Visa K1 is the more accurate fit for that stage.
Does the intake screen out applicants with a removal or deportation history?
Yes, a prior removal order or pending immigration court case is captured directly and weighted as a lower-fit signal, so it surfaces before you commit consultation time.
Will the intake flag criminal history before I ever see the lead?
Yes, any arrest or conviction anywhere is asked directly and scored as a lower-fit signal, since it can raise inadmissibility issues that change the case strategy.
Does the intake distinguish adjustment of status from consular processing?
Yes, the question about whether the applicant is currently in the U.S. determines whether the case is likely an in-country adjustment or a consular-processing matter abroad.
Can the intake catch prior immigration fraud or false citizenship claims?
Yes, the intake asks directly whether the applicant has ever used false documents, lied to immigration, or claimed U.S. citizenship, and treats a yes answer as a serious lower-fit flag.
