What does my Spouse and I have to do after we get married?

Harun Kazmi
Answered by attorney Harun Kazmi
Immigration lawyer at Kazmi & Sakata
Hello and thank you for your question. Once you get married in the US, you may file for your conditional green card. The process takes about 3 to 4 months to get approved in the U.S. This green card will be good for 2 years. At the end of those 2 years, you must file another petition documenting that you two are married and living together. You will get the right to work in 3 months and you can then file for a Social Security. He will have to show that he can financially support you and you must a clean medical and criminal record. We file marriage green cards in our office and provide a checklist to get started and prepare all your applications. Let me know if you have any other questions or need assistance.  858-874-0711.

How does a green card via marriage work?

Immigration lawyer at Richard S. Kolomejec
You can apply without having to go home (and no need for a waiver either). You may need to find a financial sponsor, however.

Can marry her and petition her if I got my citizenship through my previous marriage?

David Nabow Soloway
Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
Generally, a U.S. citizen may marry a foreign national of the same sex and sponsor her in a marriage-based adjustment of status application, and this is true regardless of whether the U.S. citizen previously had been married to an opposite-sex spouse and had obtained Permanent Resident status based upon that first marriage. In that application process the U.S. citizen and new spouse not only would need to show that they are living together in a bona fide marriage, but the U.S. citizen spouse may need to show that her previous opposite-sex marriage was bona fide too. USCIS adjudicating officers have received some training relating to this, but they are inconsistent in the level of understanding sexuality and the issues facing non-conventional marriage history. It would be wise for you and your fianc?e to consult with an immigration attorney and especially one experienced in addressing these issues - who after learning all of the relevant information could advise about immigration eligibilities, options and strategies, and who could then offer legal representation in the application process.
