How long can I immigrate to China after I get married with an American?

If he/she is an American green card, after you get married, he/she will wait for about 6 years after his/her immigration application is passed. If you are illegal, you must go back to China and wait.

If he/she is an American citizen, there is no need to schedule, but it will be reviewed, about 6 months to 1 year. If you are in America, you can wait there.

If you are really married and can read and write English, you can do it yourself and pay the application fee. It's expensive to hire a lawyer. Many lawyers will rip you off.
