I am a U.S. citizen married to a woman from the Ukraine and her stay in the US depends on our marriage?

i married a woman from france yes they will come buy and check you need a lease in both names and at least a couple of bills. they will go as far as asking you witch side of the bed she sleeps on and what side you do.that first green card is a temp one did she get the work permit ?email me for more info or you can call me ill tell you what happened with mine

As others have said, you will likely never see or hear from USCIS (INS).

They do want proof at the interview for the green card, and they will ask for additional proof of a valid marriage when you apply to remove the conditional status in 2 years (unless they gave her an unconditional green card).

Showing up for "surprise inspections" is extremely rare, and only in cases where they suspect that the marriage is not real.

My (Ukrainian) wife and I have never been asked for such proof, but she keeps USCIS informed of any address changes (as required by law), we own property together, our car insurance has both of us on it, etc. These are all things USCIS can check through public records themselves.

Just live your lives as a normal married couple, make sure you have some bills in your name, and some in hers. Make sure her drivers license has the same address as yours, etc - all the things any couple that is married have.

Highly likely. Ukraine has a high number of women marrying americans JUST to get a green card and then dumping the husband when they get the green card.

Yes you should expect inspections and very intensive, intrusive and personal interviews.

You MUST prove that the marriage is genuine and that it is for love - on BOTH sides.

bills and leases in both names or bills in either his or her name and at the same address. joint bank account if you truly trust her, joint lease - bearing in mind she can kick you out and change the locks.

Also I hope you know for sure that she is not a h00ker. Some ukrainians are known to be h00kers.

My husband got his green-card through our marriage and we haven't had anyone come by. We did go through the interview where we were asked if we had a lease in both of our names (which we don't, because we didn't actually sign a lease), and actually none of our bills are in both of our names either (some are in his, some are in mine), and our interviewer didn't seem to have a problem with it. I guess if your case seems suspect to them they may do a check, but if everything is straight with you you should be fine.

Lol slavianic women for sure better than other hehe...seems like u worrieng about it why if you are living 2gether oO if ur not only for the documents then take it ez they doin it almost everywhere cept ex soviet countries..
