Marrying a U.S. citizen or green card holder opens a path to permanent residence, but USCIS examines marriage cases carefully. Officers want to see a genuine relationship backed by real evidence, and they look closely at timing, prior marriages and immigration history.
Our marriage green card attorneys help couples present their relationship clearly and completely. We prepare concurrent I-130 and I-485 filings when a spouse is in the U.S., manage consular processing when a spouse is abroad, and prepare you both for the interview.
Situations we help with
Spouse entered legally and is in the U.S.
Most spouses of citizens who entered with inspection can adjust status here without leaving the country.
Married soon after arriving
Recent visitor entries raise questions about intent. We address timing directly and lawfully.
Prior marriages or divorces
We make sure divorce records are complete and that earlier relationships do not raise doubts.
Two-year conditional green card
Marriages under two years old receive conditional residence. We file to remove conditions on time.
