FAQ

No, marriage to an American citizen does not confer automatic citizenship or immigration status. Marriage to an American citizen lets that citizen petition their government to allow their spouse to immigrate, ie to apply for permanent residency (``green card'').

An unmarried US citizen cannot petition for his/her partner to receive an immigrant visa and green card. A US citizen may petition only for his/her legally married spouse, children, parents, or siblings.

As the petitioner for your foreign spouse, you'll file Form I-130: Petition for Alien Relative with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). It's currently taking between 14 months for USCIS to process Form I-130 for U.S. citizenship petitioners and 29 to 70.5 months for permanent resident petitioners.

You can apply for US citizenship after 3 years if you are a permanent resident (Green Card holder) and have been married to and living with the same US citizen spouse during that time. Otherwise, most Green Card holders must wait 5 years before applying for naturalization.

Naturalization Process for Marriage Green Card Holders Meet Eligibility Requirements. Prepare Form N-400. Biometrics Appointment. Naturalization Interview. English and Civics Tests. Oath of Allegiance Ceremony. Receive Certificate of Naturalization.

Ing to the USCIS website, the current estimated processing time for an I-130 petition is approximately 10.8 months for a U.S. citizen sponsoring a spouse or child, and 25 months for a green card holder sponsoring a spouse or child.

Typically, a K-1 fiancé(e) visa allows for quicker entry into the United States, whereas a marriage-based visa (also called a spouse visa) accelerates the green card process. In 2024, the processing time for a K-1 visa application (Form I-129F) is 4-7 and the processing time for a CR-1 spousal green card is 10.8.
