Marriage-Based Green Cards

A marriage-based immigration process involves more than submitting forms. The appropriate route depends on the couple's circumstances, the petitioning spouse's status, the applicant's immigration history, and where the process will take place.

Schedule a Consultation

A process tailored to the couple

Potential steps may include a family petition, an application for permanent residence or consular processing, supporting evidence, and an interview. Which steps apply must be confirmed for each couple. Prior entries, overstays, prior filings, or other issues can affect options.

The firm can review the available history, help identify relevant documents, and explain procedural considerations. No approval or timeline is guaranteed.

Prepare an accurate application

Information submitted to an immigration agency must be complete and accurate. Couples should not submit forms or make travel decisions based on a general description. At a consultation, bring prior applications and immigration notices, if available.

Schedule a Consultation

Every immigration matter depends on its own facts. A consultation can provide an opportunity to discuss possible next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does marriage to a U.S. citizen automatically provide permanent residence?

No. Marriage alone does not grant immigration status. The available process depends on eligibility, the couple's facts, and the applicant's immigration history.

Will every couple have an interview?

Interview requirements and procedures can vary. Current case-specific instructions should be followed.

Can prior immigration history affect a marriage case?

Yes. Entries, departures, prior applications, and other history may be important and should be reviewed before filing or travel.
