When seeking a green card through marriage, it is quicker to obtain adjustment of status through marriage to a US citizen than to a green card holder. If you can maintain your status as a visitor or through a student visa, you might be able to seek adjustment of status if you are marrying a green card holder. At Ollie R. Jefferson, Attorney at Law, we provide experienced and strategic advocacy to achieve green cards and citizenship.

To become a lawful resident while living in the United States

Becoming a legal resident or naturalized citizen is not an easy process, but with experienced guidance and support you can streamline the process to obtain adjustment of status and citizenship. At Ollie R. Jefferson, Attorney at Law, we will explore all of your rights and options and help determine whether adjustment of status is the right procedure to protect your rights, your family and your future.

Facts about marriage and adjustment of status

  • Permanent resident status is conditional if you are the spouse of a U.S. citizen and the marriage occurred less than two years before the alien spouse is approved for the green card or admitted on an immigrant visa. We can help you petition to extend your green card before it expires.
  • If a family member filed an alien relative petition on your behalf prior to April 30, 2001, in most cases you can apply for the green card through adjustment of status.

If you are living outside of the United States

When living outside of the United States and you want to become a lawful resident, it may be necessary to go through consular processing. Consular processing can take more time and is more complex than seeking adjustment of status. It is important to know your rights and work with a trusted immigration attorney who can effectively navigate the legal system on your behalf. We can also assist you in more complex cases where you may need a hardship waiver.
