Who Qualifies for a Marriage-Based Green Card

If you are married to a U.S. citizen, you are an immediate relative, and a green card is available to you right away with no annual limit. If you are married to a lawful permanent resident, you also qualify, though a visa may not be immediately available and a wait can apply. In every case the marriage must be genuine, and we help you document that clearly.

Two Paths: Adjustment of Status or Consular Processing

How your case proceeds depends on where your spouse is. If your spouse is already in the United States and entered lawfully, we usually pursue adjustment of status, filing for the green card without leaving the country. If your spouse is abroad, we pursue consular processing, in which the approved petition moves to the National Visa Center and then to the U.S. embassy for an interview. We recommend the right path for your situation at your consultation.

What the Process Involves

The U.S. citizen or resident spouse files Form I-130 to establish the marriage. Depending on the path, the immigrant spouse then files the green card application, attends a biometrics appointment, and appears for an interview. Where adjustment of status applies, your spouse can also request permission to work and travel while the case is pending. We prepare each filing to answer the officer's questions before they are asked.

Conditional Green Cards and Removing Conditions

If your marriage is less than two years old when the green card is approved, your spouse receives a two-year conditional green card. Before it expires, we file to remove the conditions and obtain the ten-year card. Alikhan Law Office handles the full journey, from the first petition through naturalization, so nothing falls through the cracks between stages.
