How to Get a Green Card Through Marriage - A Step-by-Step Guide

Who is eligible for a green card through marriage?

Any foreigner engaged to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (LPR) can apply for a green card through marriage. A green card is a document that proves you are authorized to live and work in the United States on a permanent basis. If you entered the U.S. on a temporary visa (like a tourist visa or a student visa), you can apply for a green card so that you can stay in the U.S. permanently.
