Marriage-Based Green Card Application | How long it took | What you need to know | Simple Citizen

Hi guys, a lot of people have been asking me about my English pronunciation skills. I filmed an entire video about it so feel free to check it out :)

Hi!! What did they test for in the physical exam? Also was it a medical exam or only a physical?

Forgive me as I'm still learning this whole entire process, but my girlfriend is a Chinese citizen who is going to school in the US and we've recently been seriously discussing the possibility of her getting her green card through marriage. Im 23 and she's 26 and I'm still a bit intimidated to get married at my current age ( I feel not quite ready yet). She has a student visa for 3 more years with her doctorate program and it seems that marriage is the only reliable way that she can get US citizenship (going the job route seems very unpredictable). Of course, I would be beyond happy to get married to her, but I just need a bit more time. However, I also don't want to wait too long, because I know that the sooner she becomes a citizen, the sooner she will be able to find a good job and also have to worry less about her future. I don't want to rush into something like getting married, but I also know that its good to plan out something like this way ahead of time, as I would be devastated if she had to go back to China for some time due to her not getting her citizenship soon enough. Let's say we plan on getting married in a year from now (2024). Do you think that would leave enough time for her to get her green card before she is forced to go back to China in 2026 after he student visa expires?

Hello, I was wondering how long you and your partner were together before getting married? I was reading that it is a red flag if you haven’t been with your significant other for a long time? Was the interview process difficult? Any information would be sooo helpful!! Thank you

What if he came legally but stayed over his time to leave? would I need to get a lawyer?

Also do both of us need to have a Passport?

How long were u married before u sent ur papers in?

Hello Christina,

Thank you so much for the video. Me and my partner had a small wedding this year with two witneses( her dad and sister) and planning to have a big ceremony next year in our anniversary day. We booked our venue, photographer and she bought her wedding dress. I know you are not a lawyer but we have similar case, and i was wondering if i should attach this documents to my case and let USCIS officer know that we are going to have a big ceremony next year. Would that help my case?

Thank you!

Hi I came here on F1 visa but I’m out of status now. Do you think I need a lawyer for my case ?Or I can apply Green card with Simple citizen.

my boyfriend came to america through school but during covid they were suppose to renew it and since he wasn’t able too he now had an inspired visa. how would that work for him? we want to get married but want to know the steps to take the right way to help us. this is new to us.

Quick question: can the documents be uploaded by taking a picture or do it all have to be digital copies i.e pdf files?

Hi Christina, did you end pictures and/or proof of your relationship with all your forms filled out?

Hi. Can you please comment the link of the Uscis application, there’s a lot of them that popped up. Just wanna make sure I download the right one :) thanks!

hi, say I were to marry an American woman, and get a green card that way. could I then work on my own (doing odd jobs, working online) while living in America? would this be allowed?

simplecitizen

hello Christina, thanks for this video, when you changed your address did your service center change?

So I’m about to also use simple citizen but I was told from a online lawyer if we file the petition for relative with the green card application it self and not separately they will say it’s fraud , so did you have to send any forms separately or did you get married use simple citizen and just send in the one packet with all forms ?

Hi Christina! Thank you for making this very informative video!! It's super helpful. I have a question though.. whenever you got married to your husband back in July of 2019, were you a recent grad or did you still have a few years left to go?

Thanks! Do you know if you’re allowed to stay in US past the 6month period if your application is submitted?

Hi there! I would just like to ask which service did you availed with Simple Citizen. Is it the deluxe or the professional? Thank you and more power ❤

Thanks for this video. Do you know if I can keep working under my TN Visa status while this process goes on?

Can this process be done if one is on TN visa ? Scenario: Canadian citizen on TN work visa marrying an American citizen in US. Can the employer who sponsored the Canadian on TN visa help with the process?

Did you get married while visiting on a fiancé visa?

How did you go about finding the total to pay the uscis after receiving your package from simple citizen ? And how did you go about paying card or a paper check?

hi Christina!

your video is super informative thanks! Couple of quick questions
1. Did you have to change the name on your original passport to your spouse's name prior to applying for green card? (Does it help with the process?)
2. Did you guys get your green card during year 1 and had to reapply for it after year 2 onwards of marriage? or were you guys married already for 2 years?

Long story short, my wife and I are wanting to migrate back to the US as we're both abroad, but I'm trying to see which step is the best way forward- Wait until 2 year mark and apply, apply for CR1 Visa then reapply for green card after 2 years, etc.

Thank you for this video. We went with Simple Citizen per your recommendation! Very helpful video. How long did it take them to receive your application after you mailed it?

Did you send in wedding pics , dating pics etc same time with your application?

You and your video is awesome!

Hi! When you applied did you get the Deluxe or Professional package with Simple Citizen? Thank you!

I have so many questions. My fiance and I are to marry soon in the Netherlands. This seems to be the fastest route for him to be able to come to the US. We are going to file the I-130 immediately following, but our main concern is him being able to work still. He can't move to the US until he can work. Should he apply for the EAD? How are you able to live in the US if you didn't have the Visa to begin with?

Which package did you buy? Is the 849 worth it?

Hi ! My spouse and I are starting the green card process. We are wondering if you changed your last name to your husbands last name after getting married? And if so, did you have to wait to do that till you received your green card? And did you use your husbands last name when filling out your green card application?

Hello Christina! Thank you for this helpful video! :)
Did you guys also submit proof of relationship (photos, call records, ect) when you send in the signed forms to USCIS? Also.. does simple citizen assist you if you have questions regarding your spouses income? My husband (US citizen) doesn't have a job currently but we got a I-864 (affidavit of support) from his parents.

Thank you christina. Iam married with children but I only what to apply with my children, should I apply as single or divorce because I fair I will not got the green card coz of married status 😊

Hi Christina this was very useful. I have a question however. Did you get all your vaccinations in the U.S.?

Thank you! I am a college student and i really need a husband. I have a question, how did your husband willing get marry? How did you find one? Thank you

What if you're trying to get ur citizenship but u don't have ur birth paper on you and you visa passport has expired? What can I do

Thank you so much Christina. I’m a college student and we have no money to pay a lawyer for this process. Will definitely be using simple citizen !

Wow Christina thank you so much for this video! I’m about to go through this process, I’ve watched a gazillion videos about it, but yours has been the most informative and well put together! The Simple Citizen tip is so good, I will definitely use it. Obviously I have more questions about my specific case, but I know you’re not a lawyer, so I’ll look for one for that hehe.
PS. I’m sorry about many of the questions people ask you here without even watching the video 😩

Hello Christina! I’m currently a student and American citizen. my girlfriend and I wants to get married and I want to sponsor her green card. But I don’t have a job currently, and I was wondering how that works. I was also an immigrant with a green card at one point, so I’m not sure if that would also affect.

What was your eligibility category for the i765 application?

I'll hire a call girl for the Green Car

It would be helpful if you put all the links that you suggested on the description.

Hey Christina! Could i get any of your social media so that i can ask you personally about my questions? I would appreciate it. Thank you.

This was super useful!

I'm a student visa holder which forms do I need to fill out after marriage?

where did you get married? we are in Miami

This was very helpful.. If you don’t mind me asking did your F1 visa got expired by any chance or you got married while it was still active? If expired and still in the US I’m thinking a lawyer would be needed.

This video has helped me massively! Thank you! I just have a couple questions…

With the vaccination record I’m guessing you’d get that from your home country? And with the physical exam I’m guessing you’d have to go to a dr over in the US and pay for this to get done? Thank you 😇

Hello, we are currently going through this system, and my wife who is an American Citizen, will she need t I get a passport to get through this all or is it not needed?

Hi,
Do you have a simple citizen promo code I can use ?
