What is the current situation of immigration to the United States through marriage? How to handle marriage immigration?

1. Marrying an American citizen You may already know that getting a green card is the quickest and easiest way to get married with an American citizen. That's what happened. The spouse of an American citizen is an immediate family member, and the number of immediate family members who can immigrate to the United States each year is not limited by the immigration quota. Because of this, spouses of American citizens don't have to wait for the timetable when applying for a green card, that is, they don't have to wait for the number of immigrants. Whether you come first or later, you can apply for a green card at any time.

Generally speaking, there are three options to apply for a green card by marrying an American citizen: (1) get married in China and wait for a green card in China; ? (2) Come to the United States with a K-3 visa after getting married in China and wait for a green card in the United States; ? (3) Do not get married in China, but get married in China on a K visa, come to the United States first, get married with an American citizen within three months after arriving in the United States, and then apply for a green card.

? 2. Marry a green card holder. Except for the immediate family members of American citizens, most types of family immigrants are restricted by immigration quotas. American immigration law divides these family immigrants who need to wait in line for immigration quotas into four categories: adult unmarried children of American citizens; Second priority: priority is divided into two categories, namely, 2A: spouses of green card holders and unmarried children under the age of 2 1; ? 2B: Adult unmarried children of green card holders;

? 3. Married children of American citizens; When you apply for a green card after marrying a green card holder, you belong to the second priority category 2A above. Because the above-mentioned immigrants must be restricted by the number of immigrants, that is, the number of green cards issued each year is limited, so they must wait in line for the allocation period. Arrangement refers to the date when you first submitted your immigration application. Your timetable shows your position in the queue waiting for the immigration quota. The State Council publishes a timetable every month. If your schedule is not later than that of the State Council, you can get a green card.

While waiting for a green card in China, if your green card spouse becomes an American citizen, you can immediately enter the above-mentioned green card application process for American citizen spouse. In other words, you can come to the United States with a K-3 visa and wait for your green card in the United States without waiting in line.

? 4. Marry a non-immigrant When you marry a non-immigrant in the United States, the way you come to the United States usually depends on what kind of non-immigrant status your spouse holds. If the spouse holds F- 1 (student) status, F-2 is allowed. If you have children, as long as you are married to 18 years old and unmarried, and under 2 1 year old, children can also enter the United States with you on an F visa.

In the process of applying for a non-immigrant green card, you should skillfully use the "time difference" to catch a "ride" in time. In other words, if you want to marry a non-immigrant, it should be before he/she gets a green card. The metaphor of hitchhiking here means that you become a derivative beneficiary through marriage during the period when the main applicant applies for a green card.
