US Spouse Visa Process Now Tougher: What You Need to Know

Bringing your spouse to the United States has just become a lot more challenging. The US spouse visa process is now facing longer delays, stricter checks, and more interviews than ever before.

If you’re planning to reunite with your partner in the U.S., you need to understand these new hurdles and how to navigate them. Here’s what’s changed—and what you can do about it.

The US Spouse Visa Process: What’s Changed?

In recent years, the US spouse visa process has become far more complicated. Policies introduced under previous administrations increased scrutiny for marriage-based green card applications. While not officially reversed, these policies are still in effect and being strictly enforced.

What does this mean?

  • More paperwork
  • Longer processing times
  • Deeper investigations into the marriage

Even if your relationship is genuine, you’ll need to prove it with clear documentation and detailed interviews.

Stricter Scrutiny at Every Step

Now, each visa case is treated with a higher level of suspicion. Officers are looking for any signs of a fraudulent marriage. This leads to:

  • Intense background checks: Both spouses are vetted more carefully than before.
  • Detailed relationship review: Expect questions about how you met, your time together, and plans for the future.
  • More financial documents: You must prove that the U.S. spouse can support the immigrant partner without government aid.

This increased scrutiny applies to both the I-130 petition and the green card interview phase.

The Interview: A Bigger Deal Than Ever

Interviews were once waived in some cases. Now, they are almost always mandatory. They are longer and more personal.

Be ready for:

  • Separate interviews: To ensure your answers match your partner’s
  • Specific questions: About shared living arrangements, daily habits, and your wedding
  • Proof of love: Include photos, letters, joint bank accounts, lease agreements, and travel history

This part of the US spouse visa process is often the most stressful, so prepare ahead of time.

Why Is It Taking So Long?

Another major challenge is the delay. What once took 6–9 months may now take 12–18 months or more.

Here’s why:

  • Backlogs: USCIS is overwhelmed by pending applications
  • Security protocols: Extra background and identity checks slow things down
  • Country-specific issues: Processing times vary by the foreign spouse’s home country

Tips to Navigate the New Process

Even with delays and pressure, it’s still possible to bring your loved one home. Here’s how to improve your chances:

  • Submit a complete application: Double-check all forms and documents
  • Be honest: In interviews and paperwork, always tell the truth
  • Show proof: The more evidence you have of a real relationship, the better
  • Stay updated: Follow official updates on immigration policy changes

The US spouse visa process is no longer simple. But by staying informed, preparing well, and keeping your paperwork organized, you can still reunite with your loved one in the U.S.

It may take more time and effort, but love—and patience—can win in the end.
