Steps to apply
How can I get a Marriage-Based green card?
The process to obtain a marriage-based green card could vary depending on the particularities of your case. Nevertheless, here are some general steps required for this process.
Step 1
Determine Eligibility
Before proceeding, ensure you qualify as the spouse of a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. This involves meeting specific relationship criteria and understanding the legal prerequisites for the process.
Step 2
Compile Documentation
Gather concrete evidence to substantiate the authenticity of your marital relationship. This includes marriage certificates, joint financial records, shared property, photographs together, and any other documents that demonstrate your commitment to each other.
Step 3
Submit Petition and Application
File Form I-130, the Petition for Alien Relative, to establish the legitimacy of your spousal relationship. Upon approval, file Form I-485, the Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. This step signals your intent to secure permanent residency based on your marriage. In some cases, you can file both the I-130 and I-485 at the same time. This is called adjustment of status
Step 4
Attend Interviews and Provide Biometrics
USCIS may schedule an interview to verify the validity of your marriage and evaluate your eligibility for a green card. Recently, they have been waiving interviews. Attend a biometrics appointment to provide fingerprints and other identification information for background checks.
Step 5
Obtain Permanent Residency
Upon successful completion of interviews and background checks, you'll be issued a green card that grants you permanent resident status. This milestone signifies your lawful permanent residency in the U.S.
