Green Card Through Marriage
Immigration Help for Spouses

At Powers Immigration Law, we help couples navigate the process of marriage-based immigration so that foreign-born spouses can become lawful permanent residents of the United States. If you are a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (LPR) who has married a foreign national, your spouse may be eligible to obtain a green card through marriage—either by applying for an immigrant visa abroad or through adjustment of status in the U.S.

Marriage-Based Immigration Options

U.S. citizens and green card holders can petition for their foreign national spouses to live and work permanently in the United States. Depending on your situation, we can guide you through:

  • Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative

  • Adjustment of status for spouses already in the U.S.

  • Consular processing for spouses living abroad

  • Spouse visa options, including CR1 and IR1 visas

  • Conditional residency and removal of conditions after two years of marriage

What to Know About Proving a Bona Fide Marriage

It’s important to understand that receiving a green card through marriage is not automatic. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) closely examines these petitions to confirm that the marriage is bona fide—meaning it is genuine and not entered into solely for immigration purposes. As your immigration attorney, we help you gather and present strong evidence of a legitimate relationship to support your case.

Marriage-based immigration cases require careful documentation and close attention to detail. At Powers Immigration Law, we provide personalized, responsive service to ensure your petition is complete and accurate. Whether you’re just starting the process, need help responding to a USCIS request for evidence (RFE), or assistance with a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) we’re here to support you at every step.
