Following marriage to your new International wife, one of the challenges facing both of you as a couple will be adjustment to a new life in our country. In the immigration area, you must secure permission from the Immigration Service for U.S. legal residency for your wife.

Under our laws, an I-485 Application for Adjustment of Status must be filed on behalf of your spouse within a reasonable time after marriage to an international fiancée. This converts her immigration status from an unmarried, non-immigrant visitor under a K-1 Fiancée Visa or B-2 Tourist Visa to an married, immigrant spouse. Thus, your spouse obtains the right to live, work and study in the U.S, as well as travel domestically and internationally

A successful Adjustment of Status Application culminates in the award to your spouse of the coveted "Green Card", which is the Immigration Service term used for U.S. legal residency. Under current immigration rules, an alien spouse is first given "conditional" legal residency for two years, provided that she remains married to her American citizen or resident husband.

Within ninety days of the couple's two year anniversary, a further petition known as the Petition to Remove Conditions on Residency is filed on behalf of the alien spouse to win her permanent U.S. legal residency. After three years, the spouse may seek American citizenship with a Naturalization Petition.
