Marriage post receiving COPR with a person who has their own COPR!

[nitin.janagam]

Hello All,

I received my COPR this year and my marriage is fixed with a person who is also in a similar stage (she received her single applicant COPR this year as well). We currently live in the U.S and we intend to do a soft landing post-marriage.

Question - How does this affect our COPR? Considering both of us have our respective single-applicant COPRs, will the marriage affect our situation? What are the steps that need to be taken?

Thanks.

I would recommend, land, finish your PR processes, and get married afterwards.

Getting married before will screw up your current CoPRs, you'll have to do some new documents and then wait again (I'm already in that wait for 8 months+) - don't be like me.

Thank you for the reply @andreiger

Could you throw some light on the documents required and how it is going to affect?

I’m afraid it’s too late to make changes to the wedding plans. My perception was that since both of us have our individual COPRs, it should not impact. Was I wrong?

Well, your marital status will change, for both of you, and you will have to declare that from what I know.
But your situation is different though since both of you have separate applications, so there's a chance I'm totally wrong.
I strongly advice, booking a couple of appointments with an immigration lawyer or something. Don't fk up your applications and then wait again for months and months like me (you can see my entire charade in the signature)
