Dear Nando:

Yes, I would have to say that marriage is quite complicated. However, the issue of "marriage complexities" is beyond the scope of our immigration practice.

However, if you are asking about whether it is possible to do a case based upon marriage to a USC we would have to say that it is fairly routine for our office staff.

We would have to run through a few questions to make sure that you were eligible for a green card and to avoid unnecessary headaches but generally if the marriage is legitimate and you don't have a criminal record we can certainly help you out with getting your green card.
