DIY KIT FOR A MARRIAGE GREEN CARD WITH A U.S. CITIZEN
A marriage-based Green Card allows the foreign spouse of a U.S. citizen to apply for permanent residence in the United States when the applicable requirements are met.
America Now’s DIY Kit, “Married to an American, Now What?”, was developed for couples who want to prepare a standard Adjustment of Status case on their own based on marriage to a U.S. citizen, with the foreign spouse physically present in the United States.
The kit provides a step-by-step organizational system for preparing the case, from gathering documents and bona fide marriage evidence to completing the applicable forms and assembling the package for submission to USCIS.
