The F-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa, meaning that it’s intended for temporary purposes, such as studying in the U.S. F-1 visa holders must demonstrate their intention to return to their home country after completing their education. This requirement can make applying for a marriage green card slightly tricky because it involves switching from non-immigrant intent (temporary stay) to immigrant intent (permanent stay)

USCIS is legally obligated to treat all marriage green card applications equally, regardless of the couple's gender. However, providing thorough documentation can help demonstrate the bona fide nature of your relationship.
