GREEN CARD THROUGH MARRIAGE
 |
As the spouse of a U.S. citizen, you may apply for permanent residency. Spouses of U.S. citizens are considered "immediate relatives" under immigration law; therefore they are excluded from all quota limitations. This means that there are an unlimited number of Green Cards available to foreign nationals who marry U.S. citizens.
|
The Application Process
The process begins with the filing of an Alien-Spouse Visa (I-130). This can be filed either with the USCIS in the United States, or at U.S. embassies or consulates abroad.

Common Law Marriages
U.S. immigration law does not recognize common-law marriages. A U.S. citizen cannot file an immigrant visa petition for a common law partner. However a common law partner may apply for U.S. residence via an employment-based visa or through the Green Card Lottery Program.
Engaged to a Foreign National
If you are a U.S. citizen who is engaged to be married to someone living outside the United States, you can obtain a K-1 Fiancée or Fiancé Visa so that he/she can come to the U.S. for the marriage.
