Frequently Asked Questions About the National Marriage Fraud Hotline
Is there a national marriage fraud hotline?
Yes. The National Marriage Fraud Hotline at 888-88-MARRIAGE (888-886-2774) is a free, confidential, 24/7 resource operated by MarriageFraud.com. It provides automated guidance on preventing, detecting, and responding to immigration marriage fraud, along with information about professional referrals. No personal information is required to use the Hotline.
How do I report marriage fraud?
If you are a U.S. citizen victim of marriage fraud, the first step is not reporting — it is protecting yourself. Before filing any report with USCIS, ICE, or other agencies, consult a licensed attorney who can help you preserve evidence, understand your legal exposure, and develop a coordinated strategy. Premature reporting without legal guidance can inadvertently harm your own position. When you are ready to report, a qualified attorney can prepare a professional Investigative Report that exceeds the scope of a standard government investigation, or file a BIA fraud appeal. Call 888-88-MARRIAGE for guidance.
Is the Marriage Fraud Hotline confidential?
Yes. The National Marriage Fraud Hotline is 100% confidential. It is a fully automated system — you will not speak to a live operator, and no personal information is collected or recorded, except your phone number which is logged for security purposes but is never used for marketing purposes. You can listen privately and at your own pace without explaining your situation to anyone. The Hotline is designed to prioritize the safety and privacy of U.S. citizen sponsors.
What happens when I call the Marriage Fraud Hotline?
When you call 888-88-MARRIAGE, you will reach a structured, automated system with four options: Press 1 for Prevention (safeguards before sponsorship), Press 2 for Detection (warning signs and red flags), Press 3 for Response (the Survival Guide for taking action), and Press 4 for Referrals (information about vetted professionals). Each option provides recorded guidance you can listen to at your own pace. There is no obligation, no pressure, and no live operator.
Can I share the Marriage Fraud Hotline with someone I'm worried about?
Yes, and we encourage it. If you believe a loved one may be a victim of marriage fraud, sharing the Hotline number (888-88-MARRIAGE) through a private, secure channel is one of the most helpful things you can do. The automated format means they can access information without the discomfort of speaking to a stranger. Please ensure that any message you send is delivered through a channel that is not monitored by the suspected perpetrator.
