Processing of the I-485 Adjustment of Status to Permanent Resident usually takes about a year or so in most cases, if married to a USC.

He needs to fill out a petition for Adjusment of Status (Form I-485). Which is basically the greencard. Since you are the U.S. citizen you will be his sponsor, that means you need to fill out Form I-130.\nYes, after you get approved for his Adjustment of Staus (Green Card) you might have to go to one of the uscis offices and get interviewed. They do interviews so they can make sure you got married because you want to be together and not so he can have a Green Card. Well, you know what i mean.\nYou can find more informaion about what else you might need to file for on http://www.uscis.gov\nMost of the forms you can find here: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD\n\nHope i helped.

Yes, just notify immigration of your address change (something ALL aliens are required to do within 30 days of an address change).  One point, if you are getting a green card based on a marriage to a US Citizen and you change your address, but not that of your spouse, it could be grounds for denying your permanent residence status.

It depends on what kind of immigration process you are in right now. Are you already in the US or still in your home country? Are you being petitioned by a family or employer? \n\nThe agency that processes your petition is the USCIS. Check their website at www.uscis.gov

I second using a more reliable source. Immigration is very complex law. \n\nThat said, if you're a bona-fide US citizen and marry an illegal alien (whose only infraction of law is illegal presence and/or illegal employment, and there are NO other criminal or moral problems) -- your spouse may be able file to adjust status on the grounds of being an immediate relative of a US citizen. I'm not sure about the child though. Once you file such a petition, your spouse is safe from being deported, until the petition is decided. If approved, your spouse becomes a permanent resident, and after 3 years, can apply for citizenship. If not, spouse needs to leave the country or file an appeal to fight the decision.\n\nNow the need for a lawyer: this can multiple years, and even a small mistake can jepordize the entire process -- and you'll have a really badly separated family. \n\nSo speak to a lawyer. If that's too expensive an option, large public libraries offer invite law professionals who consult for lower cost or free. \n\nI'm not a lawyer; above is only a slightly informed person's attempt to answer.

File a petition in the US for naturalization as US citizen.  Prove it by documents showing that you married an American citizen, had been living in the US for the past 29 years and had children who are  US citizens.

You are rushing things.  Your marriage to a US citizen doesn't automatically get you anything.  If your wife wants you to join her, she must petition for you.  If the petition is approved, you must then apply for an immigrant visa.  If the visa is granted, you can finally go to the US and receive a green card, which will entitle you to live and work in the US.\n\nHere is the process:\nhttp://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_2991.html

.   Order extra certified copies of your marriage certificate for agencies that require originals before allowing you to change your name on documents, such as the department of motor vehicles.  \n  \n2.   If you're a man changing your name at marriage, check your marriage certificate to see if there is a space to indicate a name change. If not, you will need court papers to legally change your name. Contact a local attorney to find out the procedure for name changing in your state. (This is not necessary for women.)  \n  \n3.   Request a new Social Security card or cards reflecting the name change. Call the Social Security Administration at (800) 772-1213 to obtain forms and instructions.  \n  \n4.   Make an appointment to visit the department of motor vehicles for a new driver's license. Ask in advance which documents you'll need to bring in order to certify the validity of your name change.  \n  \n5.   Obtain and complete a Passport Amendment/Validation Application. Send this along with appropriate fees, your current passport(s), and a certified documentation of your name change (such as a certified copy of a marriage certificate or court papers) to the nearest passport agency.  \n  \n6.   Order replacements for checks, business cards, credit cards and other documents that contain your old name.  \n  \n7.   Call employers and schools (if you are a student) to let them know your new name, and ask them to change it in their records.  \n  \n8.   Change your name on your car registration, with your insurance and mortgage companies, and with your frequent-flier program.  \n  \n9.   Contact the post office, utility companies and registrar of voters.  \n  \n10.   Make the announcement to friends and family (ideally to your in-laws first), using stationery or thank-you cards with your new name printed on them, or order name-change cards designed for such an occasion.

Marriage got nothing to do with being legal or illegal. Any form of id is good enough for getting married. You can use your passport from your native country as a form of id. \n\nGetting a Green Card based on marriage is a different issue and being legal or illegal matters.\n\n"If you marry a US citizen you are eligible to file for Status change to get a Green Card provided you entered the US legally( through US customs/port)and you don't have any serious criminal records. If you have entered the country illegally you can not change your status based on marriage until congress implements new laws. Two different issues so don't confuse them"

No, you will not have to move! When you first marry an American you will be granted conditional permanent residence! This is good for the first two years. After, you both file I-751 to remove the conditions on your status! This is a probation period to see if the marriage was entered in good faith! You can file this alone ONLY if the marriage ended by death of your spouse or abuse by your spouse! These are the only two exceptions to the law. Your full permanent residence will still be granted! You do however, will have to wait 5 years instead of 3 to apply for citizenship! In the mean time , you will be a lawful permanent resident(Green card ) Natural or accidental death of your spouse is no fault of your own!

Your lawyer was a crack pot and gave you some bad advice. SInce your husband was here on a work visa then he would have been able to adjust his status while remaining in the U.S. after you got married. There was no reason for you to leave. Even if his visa was expired he still would have been able to stay in the U.S. and adjust status. As far as advice for you now, I don't really know what to tell you. Have you already filed the I-130 for your husband? Did you leave before your husbands work visa expired or after? If you would like you can send me an email to answer my questions. I may be able to help you. My husband is also a Mexican citizen and we are working on this process now.

Under Immigration law the US Citizen files the petition for the alien spouse.  The US Citizen can withdraw the petition at anytime prior to the government granting the permanent green card.  A two year card is a conditional (or temporary) green card.\n\nBy him telling the immigration that your marriage was "not in good faith" he has done two things:\n\nHe has withdrawn his petition for you and:\n\nHe has put it on record that you knowingly committed fraud.\n\nWhile the government may not go after you criminally (there is a chance, but a slim one), you do not have status in the US and will be required to return to your home.\n\nIf your new boyfriend marries you, then you will be fighting an uphill battle in proving to the government that this second marriage was NOT in good faith.\n\nAn important factor will be the divorce record.  You "left him" (abandoned your first husband) and you presumably engaged in immoral conduct by having a boyfriend while still legally married.\n\nIn the government's eyes you are NOT a good person.\n\nYou could fight it )request a hearing before an immigration judge), but what PROOF do you have to counter the image the government now has of you?\n\nIf you lose, then you become a "previously deported alien."  Then there is I think a 5 year bar to re-entry.\n\nThe other choice is to go home on your own and after a "respectable" period of time (i.e. AFTER your divorce) you become engaged to #2, marry and then come back on a K visa.\n\nSince your conditional green card has already expired, you are now an illegal alien (an overstay).\n\nYou won't be able to be legally employed.  Your husband can complaint to the government that you are engaged in crimes (crimes other than adultery with boyfriend such as drugs - without proof) and if he convinces an ICE agent to do so, you will be picked up.  Or they could send you a notice to appear.\n\nBy the way, in addition to being out of status (offense #1), if you did not update your address with immigration you have committed offense #2 and possibly more.\n\nThis is time sensitive.  Your decision is go home on your own and return later, or go through immigration procedings and possibly be deported as undesireable.\n\nYour choice.\n\nAnd don't further your image with the government by lying.

I am an American citizen who married a non-citizen.  If you are seriously considering having your fiancee immigrate to America, get an attourney who specializes in Immigration.  It may be expensive, but I cannot emphasize how easy and stress-free the process becomes.  Just walking into the INS interview with our attourney was like a stamp of approval; the INS knows the attourney has helped us prepare everything the INS needs, and no honest attourney would risk his job by taking on a client who wasn't earnest.

No it isn't true.\n\nIt takes a LONG time to become a legal citizen and like typical governments, it takes longer to process additional paperwork.  If you are sure your spouse is filed, then just wait it out.  If you have questions if he did file for you to join him, contact the American Embassy and see if they can give you a phone number to see what the hold up is.\n\nI hope you get to come here soon, start your new life with your husband and I wish you all the best here!!\n\nTHANK YOU for coming to America legally :)  God Bless!
