Green Card through Marriage
Green card marriages are nothing new in the United States. It has been going on for years, but some people at one point and time, married just for the purpose of keeping the foreign born in the United States. The Immigration would actually make home visits to the homes of the couple and asked questions. Both would be questioned or you might say tested, but not together they were questioned individually.
Every year over 50,000 thousand United States citizens marry foreign-born individuals and petition permanent residency (Green Card) in the United States. Spouses of U.S. citizens are considered "immediate relatives" under immigration laws; therefore they are excluded from all numerical quota limitations. This means that there are unlimited numbers of Green Cards available to foreign nationals who marry U.S. citizens. The process of completing and submitting request for a Green Card through marriage to a United States citizen can be costly and confusing.
The "Green Card through Marriage Information and Application" package is a step-by-step immigration guide to help you file your Green Card application as efficiently and quickly as possible. If the foreign national is currently outside the United States, it is possible to obtain a K-1 Fiancée/Fiancé Visa so the foreign national can come to the United States to marry the U.S. citizen once he or she arrives in the country. The Green Card through Marriage Application Guide contains:
Green Card by marriage overview
How to apply if the marriage takes place in the United States

Hi Veronica it is so interesting you writing about this. A couple weeks ago I was just saying how maybe I should have just gotten married to an American, becaue my process is taking so long. I have a greencard though, but they speed up the process when you are married to an American citizen in turn recieving your citizenship easier than the normal process. So what do you think would ever do something like a marriage for a Green Card?
Hey Veronica! Your topic seems very interesting, and I have to tell you, it is a little similar to what I've seen happening to my cousins. Well, my cousin married someone overseas (actually they married here but they were engaged), so she applied for a k-1 visa for him. He got the visa and came to the USA and they both got married. Well, everything looked good for a few months until one day she woke up in bed alone! Yup, the guy ran away! He had married her for the greencard so he could stay in the USA. However, the guy did not turn out to be so smart because when he ran away, the case was still pending. So my cousin immediately called USCIS (U.S. citizenship immigration services) and took her case back. We don't know what happened to the guy, but all we know is whatever happened, was not good. Also, I see that you talk about a K-1 Visa, which is for fiance. Well did you also know that a K-3 Visa exists as well?! Yes it does..it actually came out a few years ago and only U.S. Citizens can use this type of visa to apply for their spouse. I like the K-3 visa because they are approved and completed way before an I-130(Greencard). I actually applied for my husband through a K-3 visa so if you need any help I am here. Also, you might want to check out a website I will put here for you because the fees have gone up for the visas! It's Crazy!
