As of June 2006 there were no restrictions within USCIS/HS/ICE regarding the marriage of close relatives immigrating here. However, there are many other restrictions related to the Immigration of married couples. Also be aware that some states may have restrictive laws regarding the procreation of children by such married couples. Check with an attorney in the state where you reside.
