Petition for my Spouse
What is a marriage green card?
​
A marriage green card allows the spouse of a US citizen or green card holder to live and work anywhere in the United States. The green card holder will have "permanent resident" status until they decide, if they wish, to apply for US citizenship, for which they will be eligible after three years.
​
Marriage-Based Green Card Timeline
Total processing time for a marriage-based green card averages 17 months, depending on whether you are married to a US citizen or a US green card holder.
​
Step 1: Establish the marriage relationship
The primary purpose of Form I-130, along with supporting documents , is to establish that your marriage is valid or in good faith.
The spouse who files the I-130 is called the "petitioner" or "sponsor." This is the spouse who is a US citizen or current green card holder. The spouse seeking a green card is called the "beneficiary" or "green card applicant."
