I am going to marry an American citizen. How should I apply for a green card afterwards? Should I apply for a green card in America? Do I need to stay in the United States after applying?

After you get married in China, your spouse will go back to the United States to apply for immigration for you.

There is no timetable for citizens to apply for spouses.

If it goes well, you can come to the United States to reunite with him in a year or so.

During the waiting period, unless he is able and willing to stay in China, you must separate.

Until your immigration application is approved, you are a landing green card.

But this green card is a "conditional green card"

On condition that:

Don't divorce him for two years, or your green card will be invalidated immediately.

You will be deported at any time.

You both have to provide a lot of materials, especially your spouse's three-year tax return.

If not, then your immigration hope is very slim.

This is in view of the current economic situation in the United States

If you don't know anything, your spouse had better find an immigration lawyer from China in the United States.

Do it for you. You don't have to worry about anything.

Just provide the documents required by the lawyer.

Moreover, the lawyer should give you more than 100 questions, which are often asked during the interview at the immigration office.

Don't take it lightly!

American immigrants regard all marriage immigrants as fake marriages!

You have to come up with the strongest evidence to prove that your marriage is true.

Refute their assumptions, otherwise, it will be difficult for you to pass the interview.

The green card is to stay in the United States for at least 180 days every year!

Otherwise, the green card will automatically expire.

You can apply for an American visa, but you can do it twice at a time.

In the long run, there is no way!

According to your own background, when do you want to live in America?

Might as well reapply for immigration.

Otherwise there will be too much trouble.

Since you want to marry an American citizen, settle down.

Learn American immigration law well!

You have a bright future.

From now on, step by step.

Step by step!

The biggest taboo in dealing with the US Immigration Service is to be quick.

Don't mess around for speed!

Please remember:

Haste makes waste!

Good luck!
