The US citizen spouse needs to petition using Form I-130 for green card for the alien. While its being processed the applicant needs to hold legal status or can return to home country and continue using consular processing to get green card.
A US green card holder can petition for his/her spouse's permanent residency. Using the Form I-130 the green card process can be started and once the priority date becomes current the visa will be issued so that the spouse can enter US as a green card holder. Also the spouse could enter US with one of the visas like tourist visa after which the US green card holder could petition for green card for the alien spouse.
immediately
Green card holder who got married after obtaining a Green Card must file a Form I-130 Immigrant Petition on behalf of their spouse in order to sponsor them for Lawful Permanent Resident (Green Card) status. So depending on the city and state where the petition is filed the processing time will differ. Green card through marriage is the quickest compared to other options but marriage should be in good faith and not for just Immigration benefits.
Lawful Permanent Residents who got married before obtaining a Green Card are not required to file an Immigrant Petition on behalf of their spouse (or any children born before becoming a Lawful Permanent Resident). A spouse and eligible children of a Lawful Permanent Resident in this category may apply for a Green Card without having an approved Immigrant Petition. This process is known as "accompanying" or "follow to join."
Lawful Permanent Residents who got married after obtaining a Green Card must file a Form I-130 Immigrant Petition on behalf of their spouse in order to sponsor them for Lawful Permanent Resident (Green Card) status.
You will need to file for a spousal visa. Information for the process can be found at the United States Immigration and Citizenship Services website, http://www.uscis.gov
Yes with form I 310
No, A US Green Card holder can't marry a Filipino and bring them back to the US. The spouse will need to apply for a Visa to be admitted into the US.
NOT SURE.
if you have legal papers from your spouse as a lawful green card holder then yes, you can but if your papers are not yet fixed, then there is no way you can get one.
Can a US green card holder marry a filipino and petition for a spousal visa to the US
you can. However it will take 5-6 years to obtain, so you need to update the pending application once you get citizenship.
Hi I got married to a green card Holder outside India. I applied for H1b and got my work visa and came to Us through that. Hoe can i convert my H1b to greencard.He got his green card 3 and half months before. can anyone answer
The process to get green card can be through marriage,employment or through relative and should be petitioned for by the US citizen or green card holder spouse, employer or US citizen relative or green card holder in US respectively. Depending on the availability of the visas under the category you apply the time period to get a green card changes.
No, there is ABSOLUTELY NO BENEFIT IN MARRYING A GREEN CARD HOLDER. Since she isn't a citizen, she CANNOT adjust the her husband's status.
Yes provided the visitor continues stays in legal status.Once the marriage formalities are complete the green card holder can petition for green card for spouse by filing Form I-130 and also concurrently file Form I-485 for adjustment of status.
The green card holder can petition for his/her spouse and unmarried children only.The preference is only for them. The time taken for process completion that is the waiting time for green card holder spouses and for minor children is four years while the period is eight years for adult children age 21 or over. Relationship to the green card holder only matters for petitioning using Form I-130 not the applicant's home country.He/she can be definitely an Indian.
That depends on the motives of the green card holder ;)
The green card holder can petition for alien spouse's green card using the Form I-130. Once the priority date becomes current and visa is available the alien spouse can enter US on conditional status. After the two years of marriage the Form I-485 can be filed to adjust the status to permanent residency.
