Summary
Amid Trump's renewed mass deportation efforts following his re-election in November 2024, many U.S.-based couples with foreign-born partners are considering marriage as the most secure and affordable way to stay together. Since the election, New York City's marriage bureau has seen a 33% surge in marriage license applications. While the exact number of unmarried transnational couples is unclear, in 2021, 12.4% of all married couples in the U.S. included a foreign spouse — the highest rate on record. Media outlets are now seeking stories from couples in this situation.
