It's another day of being knocked by the customer's love, and today Xiaozhu received a couple of customers in the company, because her husband is a U.S. citizen, and after getting married, will the woman be able to directly enter the United States to get a green card?
It's really a TV series written into reality, and the two have been in a long-distance relationship for 8 years, and now they are married and married.
I digress, today I will tell you how to apply for a situation like this.
First of all, after the woman marries a U.S. citizen, it does not mean that she can directly enter the United States to get a green card, but she must first apply for a CR1 marriage immigrant visa, which is a reunion visa for a U.S. citizen who has been married for less than 2 years. The specific steps are as follows.
If you want to apply for a U.S. green card after marrying a U.S. citizen, the first step is to file an I-130 petition with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which is mainly to prove the bona fide relationship between you and the U.S. citizen spouse, not to make a fake marriage for the purpose of the U.S. green card. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a marriage certificate, proof of spousal relationship and identification documents to ensure that the application materials are correct and avoid delays.
Once the I-130 petition is approved, USCIS will issue a Notice of I-797 Approval, congratulations, which means that your petition has been approved by USCIS and will be processed by the NVC National Visa Center.
After obtaining the NVC filing letter, you need to log in to the CEAC system and pay the NVC National Visa Center a guarantee fee of $325 and a guarantee fee of $120, and submit the immigrant visa application as required, such as DS-260**, the letter of sponsorship, and related documents. After obtaining the NVC closing letter, wait patiently for the interview letter to be notified.
In the next step, the NVC National Visa Center will issue an interview letter to you, and the case will be transferred to the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou, and the interview stage will integrate all the information provided by the USCIS and the NVC stage into the Consulate for an interview, as well as an interview and questioning, re-marital relationship and the authenticity of the documents. In general, the interview can be passed if you are well prepared, answer the questions accurately, and provide supporting materials and documents. However, if the applicant has a bad record or sensitive background identity, it may be subject to further administrative investigation
If you pass the interview, it is expected that the consulate will issue a CR1 visa in 1 4 weeks, and when you enter the United States with an immigrant visa, you will get a 2-year temporary green card if you have been married for less than 2 years, and if you have been married for 2 years, you will get a 10-year permanent green card. If you have a 2-year temporary green card, you will need to file an I-751 petition to change your 10-year green card (i.e., permanent resident status) 3 months after your visa expires.
It is not difficult to say that it is difficult to marry immigrants in the United States, but it is not easy to say that it is not easy!If you currently have a plan to apply, but don't know how to start the next step, please leave a message at the bottom for consultation
