Can you get a green card if you marry a permanent resident?
An immigrant visa available to the spouses of U.S. citizens and permanent residents is a marriage-based green card (or ‘spousal visa’).
While the procedure can seem overwhelming, whether one partner is a U.S. citizen or green card holder, most couples qualify for a marriage-based green card.
What Documents Do YOU Need for a Marriage Green Card?
The documents needed for the Marriage Green Card vary from case to case but overall these documents are required:
a birth certificate,
marriage certificate,
financial proof,
proof of sponsor’s U.S. citizenship or permanent residence,
medical examinations,
current or expired U.S. visas,
prison/court/police records (if needed),
police clearance certificate (if needed),
prior marriage termination papers (if needed) and proof of lawful U.S. entry and status (also if needed).
What is the easiest way to get a Green Card?
The most common method of obtaining a green card is to receive it through a family member.
You can request a green card if you’re a close relative of a U.S. resident or a green card holder.
This is also one of the fastest forms of obtaining permanent legal residency.
What is the difference between refugees and asylum seekers?
A refugee is anyone who has been accepted to be a refugee under the 1951 Convention relating to the status of refugees.
On the other hand, an asylum seeker is someone who is seeking foreign security but has not yet been authorized to claim refugee status.
Green Card Travel Advantages!
Compared to having a temporary visa or a student visa, one of the best benefits of having a Green Card is that it makes traveling in and out of the United States so much easier.
Keep in mind, all Green Card holders are required to be admitted by US immigration services because the card is a symbol of their permanent legal status in the country and if you do not renew it before it expires you will not be able to travel.
