Legal Question in Immigration Law in New Jersey

Re: Green card through marriage

First, you should seek assistance from an immigrtaion attorney to determine if you are now eligible to file for your green card. An attorney will need to know your immigration history and criminal history (if any). If you are eligible, then filing a few years after marriage, generally, will not cause any issues.

The filing fees for the application (if no waiver is required) are $1,365.00. Attorneys fees vary. You should certainly consult an attorney prior to filing any application with USCIS.

Re: Green card through marriage

Are you working and paying taxes in this country?

Do you have any children?

Normally a Lawyer's fee that is charged inculdes the filing fees that the government charges to process the Immigration paperwork.

Fees are also charged on the amount of work that each case involves.

Re: Green card through marriage

Generally, if you entered the U.S. legally and are now married to a U.S. citizen, you are eligible to adjust status to that of a U.S. permanent resident without the need of a waiver.

I would recommend that you consult with competent immigration counsel to assist you with the process. We can provide you with reasonable fixed fees for the process. Please contact our office for our fixed fees.
