The Asian population has the highest rate of intermarriages in the United States but with limited research on the determinants of intermarriages among foreign-born Asians. Social exchange theory, status inconsistency theory, and assimilation theory were utilized to explain intermarriage among foreign-born Asians. Data from the 2008 to 2012 American Community Survey and multinomial logistic regression were used to analyze the theoretical framework and hypotheses on the determinants of intermarriages. The results show the determinants of intermarriages among Asian immigrants with the findings supporting the hypotheses for age, sex, income, education, English proficiency, length of residency, and migration. Results also support most of the hypotheses for status inconsistency on income and education across householders and spouses. Future implications address research on Asian American panethnicity and solidarity
