Re: Naturalization

Once they are married he can file for an adjustment of status leading to a permanent residence which over time will likely lead to citizenship. The main obstacles to this process would be if the marriage were not considered legal in the US e.g. previous marriage. Also if he has committed certain crimes in the past the process could get complicated. Please feel free to contact me if you have further questions- (I am in Seattle area several times a year).
