I don't believe the two events are related. I believe it only affects her status regarding her ability to stay in the US.

To receive US citizenship through marriage, you must first get a green card (permanent residence), after two years have the conditions of permanent residence removed, and after one more year, if you have lived in the US continuously for 3 years or more with trips of no longer than 6 months, you can apply for citizenship.

First you have to get her a K-1 Fiance Visa, whith which she can enter the country.  Then you have to marry her, and apply to adjust her status to permanent resident.  You must remain married for at least 2 years otherwise she will lose her legal status.\nUsually it takes about 6 months to 1 year to adjust status and receive permanent residency.

it depends on how he entered the US. If he legally entered with a visa and overstayed then when you get married you could petition for him to adjust his status to permanent resident with immigration.... if he came into the country without visa...then he may have to go back to his country and wait there until your petition for fiance visa comes thru....normally...after you have filed your petition for your husband...he will be given a conditional green card 3-6 months after you have filed the petition....the conditional green card will be valid for 2 yr... 90 days before the expire of the green card ...you husband will have to provide proof to immigration to remove the condition and receive his permanent 10 yr green card...if he's approved he will receive his 10 yr green card and then wait 3 yrs if still married to you or 5 yr continued stay in the US to be eligible to apply for US citizenship.....visit the link below... good luck!

with an eight year visa there is only one thing to do, and it should have been done at 7years apply to become an american.  but it is also easy to have it extended, but they will ask the same question, marriage is no longer an automatic stay here free card.

You may apply the minute you marry, It takes 4-5 month to get the temporary Green card, then another 2 years to get permanent green card. then after 5 years the spouse can apply for citizenship.

The rule is that you can apply for citizenship three months prior to the fifth anniversary of the date you get permanent residence - the date on the Green Card.  However, if the purpose of the application was to get married to a US citizen, then it is three years, not five.  On the assumption that he came to the US legally and he obtained his Green Card in the normal course of events, his five year anniversary will take precedence.  The marriage will have no effect on his ability to take citizenship.  \n\nIf, however, he was here illegally and he is becoming legal to get married, I really am not sure of the rules.  Frankly, if that is the case, I would strongly recommend an immigration attorney.

I BELIEVE THAT IT IS 6 MONTHS AT A TIME...I HAVE FRIENDS THAT DO THIS EVERY YEAR AND GO TO ARIZONA AND THEN GO BACK AND IT SEEMS THAT THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO GO BACK FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS AND THEN THEY CAN COME BACK AGAIN. YOU WILL GET THE BEST ANSWERS FROM THE AMERICAN INS ONE WAY TO MAYBE SPEED THINGS UP IS TO COME HERE TO HIM GET MARRIED AND WHILE YOU ARE HERE FOR THE 6 MONTHS HE CAN FILE FOR YOU TO STAY BECAUSE THEN YOU WOULD BE HIS WIFE

To simply become married, you must file a petition with the United States Citizen and Immigration Services on behalf of your fiance to be granted a 90-day nonimmigrant status. This means that you are allowed to marry within this 90-day period, but they must leave the country before the 90 days are complete.\n\nIf your fiance is planning to live here in the United States permanently after you are married, he must file to become a permanent resident. When this is approved, your fiance will be granted a 2-year conditional residency permit. When the two years has completed, the goverment will again determine whether your marriage is not based solely upon your fiance's wishes to become a citizen, and then he can apply for true permanent residency. After this is approved, is a permanent resident, and after a waiting period of 7 years, he may apply for citizenship through naturalization.\n\nFor more information on this, visit the USCIS website on this subject at:\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=39c0194d3e88d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=4f719c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD\n\nI hope this information helps and good luck!

You be better if you would have given a bit more information like are you LPR or illegal? If your a LPR than you have to stay within USA for 4yrs 9months before you can apply for citizenship technically you can say after 5 yrs you can apply for the citizenship. \nBut if your illegal but guess would be to marry an American citizen and get your status legalized first and after 3 yrs of marriage you can apply for the citizenship. Make sure that you do not marry for citizenship only but marry for good cuz when they will interview you for your LPR, trust me immigration officers are not nice when they see marriage case. If you get thru that than your good to go but keep in mind that if your wife does report you to the immigration that you married for LPR they still can deport you. that why i said do not marry for LPR or citizenship marry for good. \nGood Luck.

The first source below has detailed information on how to bring your fiance to the United States if you intend to marry him here. The second source tells you how to bring your spouse to the United States if you intend to marry him there. After the two of you have been married for 3 years and he has lived in the United States for 3 years with trips of no more than 6 months during that time, he can apply to naturalize and become a citizen.

I believe you have to get married in the U.S. and live there.  Also the person you marry has to be a citizen of the U.S.

First of all, you would have to get your green card first and that can take years.  You would have to prove a lot of information, provide pictures etc.  Then once you receive your temporary green card, you will have to go back after two years and prove that you're still married...then once you get your permanent residency you  have to wait three years...then the naturalization process takes FOREVER.  The BCIS or whatever it's called these days, is extremely unorganized.  If you get divorced after the two  year probation period, that's usually 'ok' but if it's before then, it's usually problematic.  Good luck!  I hope you're not getting married in order to become a naturalized citizen...it's just not worth the agony.

you won't be an american citizen.  If you marry outside the US your husband who is american would have to come back to the US and file paperwork to get you a visa to come here.  The process takes about a year, then when your here you have to file additional paperwork to become a citizen, that process depending on the state you live in can take from 2 to 5 years. It a long process been thorugh it with my husband from Ecuador, but if you really love the man it's worth it.

Only  US citizens can file for a fiance visa (K-1).  You can however, get married first, then apply for a spouse visa (K-3, CR-1).  But, if you marry and file the spouse visa before your wife becomes a citizen, it will probably take several years for an immigrant visa to be processed for you since priority is given to USC's first, then Permanent Residents.\n\nIf your fiancee will probably get her citizenship within 6 months, it would be best for you to just wait until she has it, then decide whether to file a K-1 (which is usually pretty quick) or a K-3 or CR-1 (which takes longer).
