The government does not limit the number of Green Cards available to spouses of United States citizens. Marriage to a U.S. citizen is one of the most common ways a foreign national may immigrate to the United States or adjust status while already in the country.
If the foreign spouse is currently in the United States and qualifies for adjustment of status, they may be able to apply for a Green Card without leaving the country. In eligible cases, our office can help prepare Forms I-130 and I-485, along with the required supporting documents and related petitions.
Marriage-based immigration requires more than simply proving that a legal marriage exists. The couple must also show that the marriage is genuine and was not entered into only for immigration benefits.
Contact us for a complete review of your case and a full, thorough submission of all relevant forms and documents.
If the immigrant spouse is currently living in the United States, he or she may be allowed to complete the Green Card application process without having to leave the country through Adjustment of Status.
Adjustment of Status can be an important option for eligible spouses who want to apply for permanent residency from inside the United States. However, eligibility depends on the applicant’s immigration history, manner of entry, relationship to the petitioner, visa availability, and other case-specific factors.
We can determine whether you qualify for Adjustment of Status and complete Form I-485 along with the other required forms, petitions, and supporting documentation.
A lawful permanent resident may petition for a spouse to obtain permanent residency in the United States. However, the government imposes an annual limit on the number of immigrant visas available to spouses of lawful permanent residents.
Because this category is subject to visa availability, the process can take from several months to several years, depending on government processing times, priority dates, country of chargeability, and the facts of the case.
We are available to answer any questions you may have about family marriage visas. Contact us to receive important information about your case and to help ensure that your submission to the government is complete.
The K-3 visa is a temporary non-immigrant visa for the foreign spouse of a United States citizen. This visa may allow the foreign spouse to enter the United States while the immigrant visa petition is pending.
The purpose of the K-3 visa is to help reduce the time a married couple may spend separated during the immigration process. After entering the United States, the foreign spouse may continue the process toward lawful permanent residency.
Under certain circumstances, the foreign spouse may also be eligible to request employment authorization.
A marriage-based Green Card allows the foreign spouse of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident to apply for permanent residency in the United States. The couple must prove that the marriage is legal and genuine.
In some cases, yes. If you are already in the United States and qualify for Adjustment of Status, you may be able to apply for a Green Card without leaving the country. Eligibility depends on your immigration history and case details.
