After marrying in a courthouse in New York, the Biebers followed up their low-key nuptials with a big wedding a year later, on September 30, 2019, in Bluffton, South Carolina. While the speed with which the pair tied the knot seemed to concern some fans, others were apparently worried that Justin only married Hailey to obtain a green card. The rumors followed reports in September 2018 that Justin had applied for U.S. citizenship before his marriage to Hailey, leading some to wonder if the two events were connected.
Justin reportedly applied for dual citizenship, intending to remain a Canadian citizen. The site also noted that Justin's relationship with Hailey would likely bolster his citizenship application, along with the fact that he'd built a successful career in the United States since he was a teenager. Evie magazine shared several TikTok videos from fans suggesting that Justin had married Hailey for a visa, with some referring to the video for DJ Khalid and Drake's song "Popstar," in which Justin mouths the words, "Ariana, Selena, my visa." According to the site, it was denoted that the "my visa" line referred to Hailey in particular. Despite rumors swirling online, it seems unlikely that Justin married Hailey purely to obtain U.S. citizenship, but that hasn't stopped fans from speculating about the strange timing of the pop star's application.
