Re: permanent resident

You probably can obtain lawful permanent residence status but this is going to take time because your spouse is not a US citizen. Contact an immigration attorney for advice on how best to accomplish this.

The above reply is in the nature of general information, is not legal advice and should not be relied on as such.

Re: permanent resident

It depends. You should discuss the details of your case with an immigration lawyer. Whether you can get your green card based upon your marriage to a lawful permanent resident will depend on how you entered the country (legally or illegally), when you were married, whether he has ever filed a visa petition for you, etc.

Our office has extensive experience with family-based green card application. If you wish to consult with us, we would be happy to help.

Best Wishes!
