About the marriage-based green card
A marriage-based green card, officially known as "IR-1/CR-1 visa," allows the spouse of a US citizen or permanent resident to live and work permanently in the United States.
You may be eligible to apply for a marriage-based green card if you are married to a US citizen or a permanent resident and can prove the bona fide nature of your marriage.
A bona fide marriage is a genuine marriage entered into for the purpose of building a life together, not for the sole purpose of obtaining immigration benefits. In the context of a marriage-based green card application, proving that your marriage is bona fide is crucial. This typically involves providing evidence that demonstrates the authenticity of your relationship.
Evidence of a bona fide marriage may include marriage certificate or other proofs of marriage, along with financial documents like joint financial records that demonstrates a genuine marital relationship.
The process typically involves filing an immigrant petition (Form I-130) with USCIS, followed by an application for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status. Additional steps include biometrics, a medical examination, and an interview. Check out our masterclass The Marriage Green Card Masterclass: Spouse in US Edition for detailed guidance for each step of the process including how to fill your forms, what documents to prepare and getting ready for medical examination, biometrics and interviews.

Processing times can vary depending on factors such as USCIS workload, your location, and the completeness of your application. Generally, it can take anywhere from several months to over a year to receive a green card. USCIS provides online tools to check the current processing times based on your location.
