Marriage Visa Lawyer Los Angeles

If you’re a U.S. citizen residing in Los Angeles and have a foreign-born spouse, you may think your partner will automatically become a United States citizen. While it is easier for them to become naturalized than other immigrants, this process doesn’t naturally occur once you’ve both stated your wedding vows and exchanged wedding bands. To help expedite the process, you should work with an experienced Los Angeles Marriage visa lawyer.

 

Let MyImmigration help your partner get legal U.S. residency and, eventually, citizenship.

 

Due to current U.S. immigration laws and regulations, your spouse may not be legally allowed to remain in the country without the proper visa. This isn’t the situation that newlyweds want. However, we can help them file the correct forms and applications to allow them to stay so that you can build your lives together.

 

Let us help you navigate Los Angeles’ immigration laws and get your spouse a green card.

Factors to Consider When Seeking a Los Angeles Marriage Green Card

If your spouse doesn’t have legal residency in the country, they’ll need to leave as soon as their current visa expires. This isn’t the way that newly married couples want their new lives to be. Fortunately, with the expert guidance of a Los Angeles marriage green card attorney, they can begin the process of obtaining legal residency.

 

Perhaps your spouse has overstayed their visa, and you’re afraid of the repercussions, but instead of trying to correct them, you feel it’s better to take your chances. The immigration experts at MyImmigration can help to calm your fears and will work to right any wrongs. We can research your situation and make the best recommendation that works best for you and your spouse.

 

Ensuring that your spouse gets a green card is our number one priority. While each case could be significantly different, we’ve helped countless foreign-born spouses stay legally in the country. For most, the marriage green card process looks like this:

 

  1. Petition for Alien Relative: The very first step in the process is to file Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative). This form is used to prove the existence of your marriage, and you’ll need to supply a copy of the U.S. citizen’s passport, your marriage license, and proof of shared finances.
  2. Receive USCIS Approval: Once approved by USCIS, you’ll be assigned a case number.
  3. Submit Documents to NVC (National Visa Center): Next, you must file forms DS-260 and I-864 along with other supporting documents like copies of your birth certificates and passports.
  4. Medical Examination: The foreign-born spouse will have to undergo a medical examination by a designated physician.
  5. Attend Consular Interview (if the spouse is outside the U.S.): The NVC will schedule an in-house meeting with the foreign-born spouse at their nearest consulate or U.S. embassy. They’ll answer questions about their intentions of living in the United States.
  6. Enter the United States: If approved, the foreign-born spouse may enter the country.
  7. If Spouse is in the U.S.: File form I-485 (Adjustment of Status) and attend a USCIS interview. If approved, a green card will be granted.
  8. Receive Green Card.
