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?

    like everyone else has said this is heavily dependent on the locales but i’m going to imagine with immigrating to the US this way you will need to come here on a fiancé visa or something and then proceed with the citizenship/visa process for marriage after getting legally married here.

    i’ll be real chief no shade on nontraditional relationships, but if you are having trouble differentiating between you and your partners relationship and those who are fraudulent, then yes, the immigration office likely will as well and they will investigate you.

    i know it isn’t what you want to hear, and im not saying it is right, but when it comes to america; basically yeah, you need to display indications of a more traditional domestic relationship.

    again, it isn’t right (i think we should just have entirely open borders but i digress), but trying to “cheat” that here is legally considered fraud and i would be very careful in lying to immigration officials in any appreciable manner. they don’t fuck around here.
