How do I prove that my spouse and I have a valid, ongoing marriage?

If you and your spouse wish to demonstrate that you have a valid, ongoing marriage in the state of Louisiana, there are a few key considerations. First, marriage confirmations must be presented to the relevant authorities as part of the immigration process. This confirmation can be provided by the Louisiana Department of Health’s Office of Public Health, Vital Records Registry. This office can provide the original marriage certificate which is the official record of your marriage, as well as copies of it. Second, you and your spouse will be required to provide evidence of your ongoing marital relationship, such as wedding photos, letters, emails, credit card statements, or other documents that demonstrate the marriage is legitimate and ongoing. Third, you and your spouse may be asked to provide affidavits from witnesses that confirm your ongoing marital relationship. You or your spouse can provide these affidavits themselves, or they can be provided by relatives, friends, neighbors, or other people who are familiar with your marriage. Finally, a marriage interview or interview with a government official may be required. This is an opportunity to provide more detailed evidence that you are in a valid, ongoing marriage, and answer any further questions relating to your immigration process. By providing the required evidence, you and your spouse can demonstrate that you have a valid, ongoing marriage in the state of Louisiana.

Para demostrar que su matrimonio es válido y se encuentra en curso, hay varios documentos que debes presentar como prueba. En primer lugar, necesitas presentar tu acta de matrimonio. Esto debería detallar la fecha y la ubicación exactas de tu boda. Si has cambiado tu nombre después de casarte, también debe confirmar esto. También deberías presentar una carta de un conocido cercano que ha estado presente durante la relación y puede atestiguar su solidez. Esta persona podría ser un amigo cercano o un miembro de la familia. Además de esto, necesitarás una declaración conjunta de impuestos. Esto demostrará que has estado presentando los impuestos como una pareja. También es una buena idea presentar cartas recientes o correos electrónicos de otros miembros de tu familia, amigos y familiares, así como fotos de los dos juntos. Asegúrate de que estos documentos muestren que llevas una vida plena y compartida. Finalmente, si hay algún otro documento específico que te pida tu agencia de inmigración, asegúrate de que lo presentes. Si sigues todas estas directrices, deberías tener suficiente evidencia para demostrar que tu matrimonio es válido y está en curso.
