Dear all,
The facts first.
#1) I have a GC and would soon be completing 5 years and applying for a passport.
#2) I got married to a Canadian citizen in India AFTER getting the GC.
She applied for a a student visa in Toronto and got it a couple of months after marriage. She is a student here now and living with me.
#3) At the time of her visa application, she was not sure if marriage in India was recognized by the US hence hastiy put her status down as Single on the visa application
#4) I have since filled my taxes as Married, on every form etc, my marital status has been the Married. I have made no efforts at all to hide my marital status - nor have I or her have been untruthful to the Government or otherwise (except that checkbox on the School Application page)
#5) I am applying for my passport soon and will be applying for her GC soon after. I am a big supporter of being upfront to the INS, hence will be putting in my original date of marriage etc.
My question is -
(A) What would you rate my and my wife's chances of getting through without a problem?
(B) Is there anything that can be done now?
Any input/insight will be great.
Thanks
Sal
