How long do you have to be married to fix your immigration papers?

Answered by attorney Patrick Lee Jarrett (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Jarrett & Price, LLC
I do not understand your question. By fixing your papers, do you mean getting a green card? To obtain a green card through marriage you would need to be married to a US Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident. There is no time frame on the marriage. However, whether you would qualify to adjust status or go through the consular process depends on several factors including the method of entry. If you are asking in regard to naturalization, you can apply after three years of marriage. If you have any other questions, feel free to give me a call at or email me. content and subject should not be modified, otherwise your answer will not be valid.

Can I get an adjustment of status by marriage? How?

If you entered the U.S. unlawfully and without inspection, then further details, including the date you entered the U.S., whether anyone has ever filed some sort of immigration-related application for you before, etc. would be needed in order to assess immigration-related eligibilities, options and strategies for you at this time. It would be wise to engage an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information, could advise you about eligibilities, options and strategies and represent you in the application process. Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.

Will I have any trouble in immigration for getting a green card as my boyfriend said that he will not file taxes along with me?

Best wishes for your upcoming marriage. Although not clear from your question, I presume your 72-year-old fiance is a U.S. citizen. It is not legally required for spouses to jointly file tax returns or to be of similar ages, but you correctly noted that a failure to file joint tax returns, and your and your fiance's age differences, may lead the USCIS to use a heightened level of scrutiny in determining whether you and he are living together in a bona fide marriage. It would be wise for you and your fiance to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant details, could advise about preparing a persuasive marriage-based application notwithstanding the decision not to file joint tax returns.
