  1. If she's here now, having entered on the visa waiver program and she has no arrests, no communicable diseases, and no prior immigration violations, its a simple matter of getting married and filing the I-130, I-485, G-325A for both of you, I-864, and I-765.

    If she's currently abroad and has no arrests, no communicable diseases, and no prior immigration violations, its a simple matter of filing an I-130 and G-325A for both of you, then later a DS-230 and I-864 at the NVC, and then she picks up the immigrant visa abroad.  It will take about a year.  Alternatively, you can go for the fiancee visa: file I-129F and G-325A for both of you here, then at the consulate the DS-156, DS-156K, DS-230 Part I and I-134.  Then once she arrives in the US on a K1, get married within 90 days and go back to the first paragraph of this post.  Going for the K1 will probably get her here in about six months or so.

    If she's currently abroad and you plan to get married, do not try to bring her here on visa waiver as she clearly has immigrant intent and it would be fraud to try to enter on visa waiver with intent to get married and apply for a green card.

    If she has any prior arrests, communicable disease or prior immigration violation, your case gets to complex for me to answer quickly.

    Always consult an attorney before taking action on your immigration case.

    None of your options are quick, cheap or painless.


  2. No American ladies in Atlanta?

    They are really checking these marriages, thank-god!

    No has easy as you might believe.

    How much will you make?

  3. Yes, of course you can marry her and if you do and file the proper paperwork, she'll be eligible for a green card and 3 years later, US citizenship. If she's in the US, you can marry as soon as the 2 of you are ready. If she arrived in the US and came here on a visa or on Visa Waiver, she'll be able to adjust to immigrant status without going back. You'll need to file an I-130 immigrant visa petition, an I-485 adjustment of status form, an I-765 work authorization request and some other forms. Check out uscis.gov and look for additional information and downloadable forms. or you can go down to the Federal Building on MLK and pick them up at the USCIS office and ask them any questions you have.
