Marriage-Based Green Cards

 

Marrying a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident may provide a pathway to lawful permanent residence (a "green card"), but the process is often more complex than many people expect. Every case is unique, and even small mistakes or missing documentation can result in delays, Requests for Evidence (RFEs), or even denials.

Our firm helps couples navigate every stage of the marriage-based immigration process with careful preparation and experienced legal guidance. Whether you are newly married, have been married for years, or are applying after entering the United States on a different visa, we will evaluate your circumstances and develop a strategy tailored to your goals.​​​​​​​​

​

The Marriage-Based Green Card Process

 

Although every case is different, the process generally includes the following steps:

​

1. Determining Eligibility

The first step is determining whether you qualify to apply. This depends on several factors, including your spouse's immigration status, your manner of entry into the United States, your immigration history, and whether you are applying from inside or outside the country.

During your consultation, we carefully review your circumstances to identify potential issues before they become obstacles.

 

2. Preparing and Filing Your Petition

A successful application begins with a complete and well-documented filing. We work with our clients to prepare the required forms, organize supporting evidence, and submit documentation that demonstrates both eligibility and the authenticity of the marriage.

Supporting evidence may include:

• Marriage certificates

• Joint financial records

• Tax returns

• Lease or mortgage documents

• Insurance policies

• Birth certificates of children

• Photographs together

• Travel records

• Affidavits from family and friends

• Other documents demonstrating a shared life together

​

A thoroughly prepared application can help minimize unnecessary delays and Requests for Evidence.

​

3. Biometrics Appointment

After your application is filed, USCIS typically schedules a biometrics appointment where fingerprints, photographs, and a signature are collected for required background checks.

We prepare our clients so they know what to expect before every appointment.

​

4. The USCIS Interview

Many marriage-based green card applicants are required to attend an interview with a USCIS officer. During the interview, the officer will ask questions about your relationship, your marriage, and your eligibility for permanent residence.

Interview preparation is one of the most valuable services we provide. We help clients understand the types of questions they may be asked, review their application for consistency, and prepare them to present their case with confidence.

​

5. Final Decision

If your application is approved, you will receive lawful permanent resident status.

If you have been married for less than two years when permanent residence is granted, you will generally receive a Conditional Green Card that is valid for two years. Before it expires, you must file a petition to remove the conditions on your residence. If you have been married for at least two years, you will generally receive a 10-year permanent resident card.
