A marriage-based green card offers one of the most direct paths to permanent residency in the United States. However, while the process may seem straightforward, approval is never guaranteed. Marriage petitions receive extensive scrutiny from immigration officers to prevent fraud, meaning every document, form, and detail must be accurate, consistent, and complete. Having an experienced attorney by your side is one of the best decisions you can make during this process.

At Sintsirmas Immigration Law Co. LPA, our attorneys help couples across Cleveland, Twinsburg, and nationwide secure lawful permanent residency through marriage. Whether you're a U.S. citizen sponsoring your spouse, a permanent resident beginning the process, or planning to bring your fiancé(e) to the U.S., our team guides you through each step with clarity and confidence.

Who Can Apply for a Marriage-Based Green Card?

Any U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (green card holder) may sponsor their foreign-born spouse—provided the spouse entered the U.S. legally or qualifies for consular processing abroad. While marriage is one of the fastest ways to obtain permanent residency, it still requires substantial evidence to prove your relationship is authentic and not created solely for immigration benefits.

Our attorneys ensure your application is complete, well-documented, and strong enough to withstand USCIS scrutiny.

Marriage Green Cards for Spouses of U.S. Citizens

U.S. citizens enjoy one key advantage in the marriage-based green card process:
Their spouse is classified as an “immediate relative.”

This means:

• No waiting for a visa number—it becomes available as soon as the petition is approved
• Spouses inside the U.S. may submit an adjustment of status application
• Spouses outside the U.S. go through consular processing at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad

This category is the fastest way for a foreign national spouse to obtain permanent residency.

Marriage Green Cards for Spouses of Permanent Residents

Spouses of green card holders do not qualify as immediate relatives. Instead:

• They must wait for a visa number to become available
• Their priority date determines when they can move forward
• Wait times may range from several months to multiple years

Once the priority date becomes current, the spouse can apply for a green card either in the United States or through consular processing.

Our firm will track your priority date, prepare your filings, and ensure you stay compliant throughout the wait.

K-1 Fiancé(e) Visas: An Option for U.S. Citizens

For couples not yet married, the K-1 fiancé(e) visa provides a faster alternative.

This visa allows your fiancé(e) to:

• Enter the United States legally
• Remain for up to 90 days
• Marry the sponsoring U.S. citizen
• Apply for adjustment of status after the wedding

We help you gather the required evidence, prepare for the interview, and avoid delays in reaching the final green card stage.
