Frequently Asked Questions
How long does marriage-based green card take in Phoenix?
For spouses of U.S. citizens, adjustment of status typically takes 12 to 18 months from filing through approval. Work permits (EADs) often come within 4 to 8 months of filing. Travel documents (Advance Parole) arrive on similar timelines. The Phoenix USCIS Field Office processes local cases, with processing times published and updated regularly.
What is adjustment of status?
Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) lets eligible non-citizens in the U.S. apply for permanent residence without leaving the country. It’s commonly used by spouses of U.S. citizens, employment-based applicants, and family petition beneficiaries already in the U.S. Requirements include continuous lawful status (with exceptions) and a current priority date.
Can I naturalize after a marriage green card?
Spouses of U.S. citizens can apply for naturalization after 3 years of continuous residence as a green card holder (versus 5 years for non-spouse applicants). Applicants must show good moral character, continuous marital union, English proficiency, and pass the civics test. Criminal issues may affect eligibility.
