Marriage-Based Green Cards
The United States provides opportunities for families to live together in the United States. Family unity has been a long-standing policy of the United States government and the U.S. Immigration laws permit ways for certain categories of family members to live together in the United States.
For example, a U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident (Green-card holder) can petition for a spouse for lawful permanent residency / green card to live permanently in the United States.
Spouses of U.S. Citizens or green card holders can be physically inside the United States or physically outside the United States.
Depending on where the spouse resides, the process is different. Consular processing is the process when a spouse is physically outside the United States and the spouse interviews at a U.S. Embassy outside the United States.
Adjustment of Status is the process when a spouse is physically inside the United States and the spouse interviews at a USCIS local field office inside the United States.
There are also other categories for family-based immigration such as petition for parents, children, and siblings aside from spouses. Depending on several factors, these categories are either immediate relatives or family-preference categories.
The timing of when an Immigrant visa or adjustment of status application can be submitted is dependent on several factors such as whether the category is an immediate relative or a family preference category.
