If you are seeking to obtain a green card through marriage, there are a few things you should know. The process of getting a green card through marriage is not as simple as just getting married to a US citizen. There are certain steps you must take and certain requirements you must meet in order for your application to be successful. In this blog post, we will outline the process of getting a green card through marriage and what you need to do in order to increase your chances of success.
The first thing you need to do is make sure that you are eligible to apply for a green card through marriage. You must be married to a US citizen or permanent resident in order for your application to be considered. If your spouse is not a US citizen or permanent resident, your application will likely be denied.Â
The next thing you need to do is gather all the necessary documentation. This includes your birth certificate, passport, proof of termination of any previous marriages, and evidence of your relationship with your spouse such as joint bank statements and lease agreement. You will also need to fill out form I-130 and form I-485. Once you have gathered all the necessary documentation, you will need to submit it along with the appropriate fees.Â
After your application has been submitted, you will be scheduled for an interview with a United States Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS) officer. The purpose of this interview is to verify the information on your application and to assess whether your marriage is genuine. You will need to bring all the documentation listed above to this interview, as well as any additional documentation that the USCIS officer requests.Â
Once the USCIS officer has determined that your marriage is genuine, you will be granted a green card and will be able to live and work in the United States permanently.Â
