Abstract/Citation
Generally speaking, foreigners lawfully permitted to enter the US may freely be accompanied by their spouse and children under the same immigrant status. However, if the couple have been married less than two years, and if the entering foreigner is an entrepreneur (Sec 203 (b)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act) the accompanying family members will only be granted conditional permanent residence. The conditional status can be removed upon application (within two year of entry) followed by a hearing to verify the authenticity either of the qualifying marriage or the entrepreneurship. These regulations outline the procedure for this verification process.
