Thinking about applying for a marriage green card while in the U.S. on a student visa (F-1), visitor visa (B2), ESTA, H-1B, or another type of nonimmigrant visa? You’re not alone—and yes, it’s often possible to stay in the U.S. and apply through Adjustment of Status if you marry a U.S. citizen. But success depends on timing, lawful entry, and how well your relationship and documents are presented to USCIS. Whether you overstayed a visa, got married during OPT, entered on ESTA, or are in a same-sex marriage, we’ve helped hundreds of couples navigate the green card process smoothly. From interview prep to Advance Parole to the I-864 Affidavit of Support, we specialize in making marriage-based immigration cases strong, strategic, and stress-free.

If you're in the U.S. on an H-1B visa and you've found love with a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (LPR), your story isn’t just one of professional achievement—it’s also one of connection, commitment, and building a life together. When your marriage is based on a genuine relationship and love has always been in the picture, adjusting your immigration status through your spouse might be one of the most natural—and legally sound—paths forward.

At Khunkhun Law, we don’t just fill out forms—we build your entire case with the interview in mind, from day one. And because all we do is marriage and family immigration, we’ve created a repeatable system that removes the guesswork, anticipates red flags, and makes the entire process more predictable.

Love may be universal, but U.S. immigration law? Not so much. If you're engaged or recently married to a U.S. citizen, you’ve likely discovered that the path to a marriage green card can feel less like a romantic stroll and more like navigating a legal labyrinth. Fortunately, you don’t have to do it alone. An experienced immigration lawyer in NYC can help you untangle the rules, reduce your stress, and turn your plans into reality.

For many international students, the F-1 visa opens the door to education and opportunity in the United States. But when love enters the picture, that dream often grows into something more permanent. If you’ve fallen in love and married a U.S. citizen, you may be eligible to apply for a marriage green card—right from inside the U.S.—through a process called adjustment of status.

When you receive your marriage-based green card and it's been less than two years since you tied the knot, you start your journey in the U.S. with what's known as a conditional green card. This isn't just a bureaucratic step; it's a crucial period where you need to demonstrate that your marriage is genuine and built to last. 

Thinking about getting married in New York City? Whether you’re a U.S. citizen marrying a foreign national or a Green Card holder looking to bring your spouse to the U.S., the journey from saying “I do” to securing a green card can feel overwhelming. 

If you’re in a same-sex marriage and worried about applying for a marriage-based green card under the current Trump administration, you’re not alone. The good news is that nothing has changed in the law—same-sex spouses of U.S. citizens and green card holders still have the same rights as opposite-sex couples when applying for adjustment of status.

Filing for a marriage-based green card soon after getting married, especially following a low-key courthouse wedding, can raise questions for some couples. One of the most common concerns we hear as New York immigration attorneys is: “Will USCIS think our marriage is fake if we file right away?”
