The Lengthy and Complex Process for a Green Card
Many clients come to the Burchinow Immigration Law Firm after marrying a United States citizen. The application process requires considerable evidence of a marital relationship and financial ability of the US citizen to support his alien spouse and any minor stepchildren. If the stepchildren are living outside the United States then we can apply for their immigrant visas through consular processing. A US citizen may also apply for his parents. A spouse, minor children and parents are “immediate relatives” and the application process averages 6 months for relatives in the US, and as long as 12 months for relatives outside the US. The process for other family relationships such as siblings or married children of a US citizen takes considerably longer. Lawful permanent residents may also apply for their spouses and children but it too is a lengthy process. The process in applying to be a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) is complex and unless you are an immediate relative will take many years.
The Challenges of Green Cards through Marriage
Green card applications via marriage are examined very closely by immigration authorities. Marriage green card applications are put under the microscope by the authorities and our firm. We ask the hard questions regarding the marriage to identify any possible problems. If you pass our test, you will likely get through the application with immigration officials. To account for the potential of sham marriages, those immigrants married to a citizen for less than two years receive a “conditional” green card that expires in two years. Conditional residents must apply to have the condition removed before their card expires and may be required to reappear before the US Citizenship and Immigration Services to prove they have a true marital relationship.
