How long can I go to the United States after I get married in China?

You can apply for immigration after marriage. The application materials need to be very detailed, including the process of meeting and proposing marriage. Mainly face-to-face signing. It usually takes about 1 year from application to face-to-face interview. ?

If you pass the interview, you can get a temporary green card after entering the country and apply for a permanent green card one year later. The inspection is very strict, and all your questions are very personal. During the period from applying for naturalization to obtaining approval, you must maintain continuous residence. You can apply for naturalization three months before you have lived continuously for three years. When you take the oath of naturalization, you must be in the United States.

If you take the regular route, there are two ways to apply for an immigrant visa:

1. American applicants submit their immigration application CR 1 visa in the United States after marriage. It takes about 1 year from application to face-to-face interview. After the visa is passed, they can enter the United States and get a green card directly after entering the country.

2. If the United States applies to live in China for at least 6 months and holds a residence permit in China, it can submit an application for CR 1 at the domestic embassy (Beijing or Guangzhou, depending on the place where the residence permit is issued). It takes about 1.5-2 months from application to interview. After the visa is passed, it is the same as above;

If you don't want to live in the United States, you can apply for a B2 visa to visit relatives in the United States, but you can only stay for six months. However, if you don't have enough evidence to prove that you will come back on time, it will be difficult to pass the B2 visa.
