Marriage Visa

The spouse of a US citizen can immigrate and obtain a green card by filing a I-130 petition and, in some cases, a petition for a K3 visa. Adjustment of status (AOS) is available to some living in America. If living abroad, a US consulate/embassy will issue the marriage visa.

Fiancee Visa

United States citizens can bring their foreign boyfriend (fiancee) or girlfriend (fiance) to the US in order to marry, by filing an I-129f petition for a K1 Fiance Visa. After marriage, the spouse will be able to apply for a green card and immigrate to the US.

Adjustment of Status

Many immigrants, including spouses of US citizens applying for a marriage visa, can apply for their green card while in the US via the adjustment of status (AOS) process by filing form I-485 (I485) along with a visa petition such as I-130 (I130).

Immigration Waiver

Certain inadmissible immigrants must file either a 212 waiver or a 601 waiver and prove extreme hardship to be able to obtain a green card to enter or remain in the United States.

Citizenship & Naturalization

Once an immigrant has been a lawful permanent resident (LPR) green card holder for five years, or three if married to a US citizen, he or she can apply for US citizenship through the naturalization process. The applicant must meet several citizenship requirements such as length of permanent residence, length of physical presence in the US, good moral character and knowledge of English and basic US civics. A naturalization attorney can assist in obtaining US citizenship by preparing a complete and accurate citizenship application and attending the citizenship interview.
