Of course she says she loves you...she wants to leave her country..as you said. She will say whatever she can to get outta Russia and become and American citizen by marrying an American. \n\nHey...it's up to you. If you want to marry a female you don't love to give her a chance at the good ol' American dram...then fine. I think you would be cheating yourself though.

Jordon almost got it right.  IF you marry your boyfriend and get his green cards, it will be a conditional green card.  Then 2 years from then you must prove to immigration that you two have been living together as husband and wife.  That is form I-751 which at this time costs $205.  You will have to submit this within the 90 days prior to the 2 year anniversary date.  Once immigration decides to remove the conditional statues on the green card, you will then receive a green card that will be good for 10 years, but in 3 years he can apply to become a citizen of the USA.  \n\nSo from the very start of dealing with immigration, it will take him a minimum of 5 years.\n\nCurrently immigrations is backlogged and are around 6 month behind schedule.  So good luck and learn to be patient with immigration.

When you get a green card by marrying an American citizen you get under a 2-year condition.  The INS does this to assure that marriages are real and not fake.  \n\nYou say your friend has been married for more than 2-years.  The "key" to her keeping her green card is if she's had her meeting with the INS to remove the condition.  If this has happened then her green card can not be taken away because of the divorce.  If the condition is still on her green card then it will be taken away if she gets divorced.\n\nIf she gets divorced and does not have the condition removed her green card will expire and she will be an illegal alien.  Legally she should leave before her card expires.

I suspect if you don't know the answer to this question, your wife must be here illegally.  How did you obtain your green card is the next question I would pose.

Depends on what citizenship you have

You are confusing a lot of different processes.\n\nA foreigner can get married in the US any time he or she wants to.  That is a process subject to state law.\n\nOnce the foreigner is married to an American, the American can - but doesn't have to - apply for permanent residency for him by filing an I-130 with USCIS.  Once that is approved, the foreigner can either apply for an immigrant visa (if he is outside the US) or for adjustment of status (I-485, if he is legally in the US).\n\nIf the immigrant visa is issued, the foreigner will recieve the green card in the mail some time after having entered the US as a legal immigrant.  If he applied for adjustment of status, the card will also be mailed to him eventually.\n\nNaturalization and citizenship can come along later.  Marriage does NOT grant citizenship.  That must be applied for by all of its own unique rules.

It depends.  If said foreign national remains married, then he or she is eligible to apply for citizenship after three years of receiving the green card.  If there is a divorce, however,  then the answer is five years.\n\n----\n\nFYI, the above people are wrong.

No, you can not and yes you will be breaking the law. There are agreements between countries that reconizes each other marriages. I would do some research at www.state.gov concerning foreign marriages. IPlus,when you apply for your marriage license there is some sort of affidavite that you must fill out concerning past marriages and divorces prior to getting married. If you lie on this form you are breaking the law. If you got your present wife a green card through this first marriage and not getting a divorice, you maybe getting yourself into some hot water. i am in ny state and a non contested divorce maybe around five or six hundred dollars. In this environment were background checks are needed for jobs, apartments, etc. i would make sure you are not breaking any laws.\n\nbest,\nL

You will need to apply for a Visa although it is not going to look good that you have been living in the US illegally.  I would say you need to marry someone else or you may have serious problems.

Do you have Green Card or that is what you want?

NO - marriage to a U.S. citizen does not confer U.S. citizenship to the spouse.  Information on how a US citizen can bring a family member (or spouse) to the US can be found here: http://uscis.gov/graphics/services/residency/family.htm

Every year thousands of American citizens marry foreign-born persons and petition for them to obtain a permanent residency (Green Card) in the United States. Spouses of U.S. citizens are considered "immediate relatives" under immigration laws, therefore they are excluded from all numerical quota limitations. This means that there is an unlimited number of Green Cards available to foreign nationals who marry U.S. citizens. The process of completing and submitting a request for a Green Card through marriage to a United States citizen can be both costly and confusing. The "Green Card through Marriage Information and Application" package is a step-by-step immigration guide to help you file your Green Card application as efficiently and quickly as possible \n\nYou can order the application at the link provided

Don't get married to this guy just for the green card. The green card is kinda hard to get depending on where you are from. Germany shouldn't bee too much of a problem. My husband is Middle Eastern and some of his family has been waiting for 13 years at the most for the green card. It is a long process and tehy investigate everything. You have to go through interviews and show proof that the marriage is real. Take lots of pictures. It also is faster if you get married in you home country and he files papers here.
