    The U.S. Immigration Maze & Marriage | Sidebar with Francois #3 - Paul Wayburne

    In this episode of Sidebar with Francois, South African–born attorney Paul Wayburne brings clarity to one of the most emotionally complex areas of immigration law: marriage-based immigration. Drawing from his experience at Wayburne Law Firm, Paul breaks down why immigrating to the U.S. through marriage—a cornerstone of many Family Immigration cases—isn’t always as simple or stable as it seems. We discuss how marital conflict, poor communication, or even the timing of a visa denial can derail an otherwise valid immigration path, especially for those pursuing Adjustment of Status (AOS).
