Green Card Marriage Services

In the pursuit of love and a life together, many couples must navigate the U.S. immigration system. For those seeking a permanent solution, the green card marriage process is a popular route. If you want an experienced guide to simplify the process and increase your chance of success, the Law Office of Marron Gebremeskel, PLLC is here to help you every step of the way.

Understanding Green Card Marriages

A green card marriage allows a U.S. citizen or permanent resident to sponsor their foreign spouse for a green card. It is a legal pathway that many couples pursue to build a life together in the United States. But what type of green card do you get through marriage? It depends on your circumstances.

There are two primary types of marriage-based green cards:

  1. Conditional Green Card - If you have been married for less than two years at the time your green card is granted, you will be subject to the "two-year marriage rule for green card." You will receive a conditional green card which requires you to apply for the removal of conditions 90 days before the expiration of the card.

  2. Permanent Green Card - If married for more than two years at the time of approval, you receive a permanent green card, valid for 10 years, subject to renewal.

Steps in the Green Card Marriage Process

The U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse must file Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative.

Step 3: Apply for Adjustment of Status or Consular Processing

Depending on the foreign spouse's location, they will either file for adjustment of status (if in the U.S.) or consular processing (if outside the U.S.).

Step 4: Attend the Interview

An interview is a crucial step in the process. It verifies the authenticity of the marriage. Marron Gebremeskel provides coaching to help couples prepare.

Step 5: Await the Decision
