So a partner and us are thinking about getting married so we can emigrate somewhere (we do genuinely want to be together). However we’re both ace-spec and thus don’t have sex.
We’re also both not cis, nor monogamous.
They’re also aromantic and thus with all these things we don’t behave in a typical mono allocishet way.
So is there any hope for us or will marriage fraud investigators tell us no without us kissing, having sex and generally behaving as expected?
I applied for a green card in the US based on marriage, and my wife is now applying for one in Canada. In both cases, they’ve mainly been concerned with combined finances and co-habitation. Your mileage may vary depending on where you are, but I don’t imagine that it would be a problem.
Okay, how do we co-habitate or share finances when we’re both from different countries? This is confusing to us both.
Ahh I see, that makes it a little different. Where I am, there are actual visas for this case (called a fiance visa). I’m not sure exactly what they’d be looking for to prove a bonafide relationship (possibly some evidence of correspondence), and it does require that you’ve met in person at least once within the last two years. Not sure where you and your partner are based, so again, YMMV.
Once married, I expect you or your partner would apply for permanent residence (a “green card”). This is where you’d have to show combined finances, etc. If you have the means, consider consulting an immigration lawyer in whichever country you intend to reside.
