Hi,

Once you are married, the probability is good that your wife will be able to remain legally in the U.S. and obtain resident status and eventually citizenship since she entered the U.S. legally. Additional information is here: www.h1b1.com/citizenship.htm

As each case is unique, please contact our law firm during business hours at 212-268-3580 or email [email protected] for additional guidance.
