If a foreign citizen marries a citizen of the United States, he or she can be granted permanent residence in the United States. The spouse (or fiancee) of a U.S citizen must be available to sponsor the green card applicant and have the financial resources to support the husband or wife. To be eligible for a Green card through sponsorship by a U.S citizen spouse or husband, there are no educational requirements.

To be able to work and live permanently in the United States, a foreign national must first become a permanent residence. A marriage to a U.S. citizen is one way to get a green card or permanent resident status. As long as the spouses or children of U.S. citizens are eligible and their U.S. citizen spouses are willing and able to sponsor them, they can apply for green cards. The Green Card through Marriage to U.S. Citizens Application and Information Guide will provide information about the requirements to be eligible for a Green card through marriage to a citizen in the United States. This guide will also walk you through the steps involved in applying for a Green card through a spouse or sponsor.
