The Marriage Green Card Application Process, Explained
A marriage-based Green Card looks like the simplest case in immigration law: two people, one relationship, one form. In practice, it's among the most heavily scrutinized filings USCIS handles. But with the right case strategy, the entire application process can be smooth.
For this session, Manifest immigration attorney Carmiann Cespedes returns to walk through the marriage-based Green Card application start to finish, for both the foreign spouse and their U.S. partner.
We'll cover:
- The difference between adjustment of status and consular processing, and how to choose
- What the petition and interview process looks like, step by step
- The documentation USCIS looks for to establish a bona fide marriage
- The most common reasons cases get delayed, flagged, or denied
- How prior immigration history follows you into the case
- What to have in order before you file
Whether you're newly married and just starting to research your options or already mid-process and trying to understand what comes next, this session will give you a clear picture of the road ahead.
