Why Legal Marriage Matters for Immigration and Citizenship
For couples navigating immigration, a legal marriage is often essential to unlocking pathways to visas, green cards, and naturalization. Here’s how marriage plays a critical role:
1. Marriage-Based Green Cards
U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents can sponsor their spouses for green cards. A legally recognized marriage is a key requirement. Learn more about marriage-based green cards.
2. K-1 Fiancé(e) Visas
Fiancé(e)s of U.S. citizens entering the country on a K-1 visa must marry within 90 days to maintain legal status. For details on K-1 visas, visit Travel.State.Gov.
3. Naturalization and Citizenship
Marrying a U.S. citizen can shorten the waiting period for green card holders to apply for citizenship. Learn more about the naturalization process.
4. Work and Travel Authorizations
Marriage to a U.S. citizen can facilitate applications for employment and travel authorization while your green card application is pending.
