Marriage Based Green Cards • Marriage to a U.S. citizen

Under United States immigration law, spouses of U.S. citizens are considered “immediate relatives,” therefore they are excluded from any numerical quota limitations. There is an unlimited number of green cards available to foreign nationals who marry citizens of the United States, however, the process can be complex and requires experienced legal support and advocacy to effectively and efficiently complete the necessary documentation and petition. At Ollie R. Jefferson, Attorney at Law, we offer experienced and strategic support to protect our clients and help nationals obtain green cards through marriage.

“Foreign nationals living outside of the United States may also obtain a K-1 Fiancé or Fiancé Visa to come to the United States to marry a U.S. citizen. I will protect your rights at every stage and work to streamline the process for your benefit.” –Attorney Ollie R. Jefferson

Marriage Based Green Cards • Marriage to a Green Card holder

Marriages to green card holders are handled very differently than in cases where a foreign national marries a U.S. citizen. If you are married to a green card Holder, you will go on a long waiting list, but may be eligible for adjustment of status if you are already residing in the United States. If you are living outside the U.S., you may go through consular processing to obtain a visa or green card. Depending on the status of the person you marry, you may face unique issues and concerns. We are experienced in handling cases involving consular processing and hardship waivers as well as cases involving spousal abuse green cards.
