Green Card for Undocumented Spouse of U.S. Citizen

At Joseph & Hall P.C., Colorado’s trusted immigration law firm, we provide dependable legal guidance to help you and your family achieve your immigration goals. Under Biden’s administration, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services has announced a new policy that will make it easier for undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens to obtain green cards.

Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for a green card as an undocumented spouse of a U.S. citizen, you must meet the following requirements:

  • You are married to a U.S. citizen
  • Your spouse is willing to sponsor your green card application
  • You entered the U.S. without inspection or overstayed your visa
  • You have no disqualifying criminal history

It is important to note that eligibility for a green card does not guarantee approval. It is essential to work with a knowledgeable immigration attorney to ensure that your application is properly prepared and submitted.

How Our Firm Can Help

At Joseph & Hall P.C., our team has years of experience navigating the complex immigration system. We understand the challenges faced by undocumented individuals seeking legal status, and we are committed to helping families stay together through the green card process.

We can provide you with comprehensive guidance on gathering necessary documents, completing forms, and preparing for interviews. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible for you and your family.

Timeline for Approval

Under the new policy, USCIS will allow undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens to apply for a green card without having to leave the country. This means that you can remain in the United States with your spouse while your application is being processed.

The timeline for approval varies depending on individual circumstances and USCIS processing times. However, under the current administration’s focus on family-based immigration, we expect that green card applications for undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens will be expedited.

Benefits of a Green Card

Obtaining a green card provides numerous benefits:

  • Legal Residency: Your spouse can live and work legally in the U.S.
  • Travel Flexibility: Green card holders can travel internationally and return to the U.S.
  • Path to Citizenship: After holding a green card for three years, your spouse may be eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship.

Potential Risks and Challenges

  • Inadmissibility Issues: Certain grounds of inadmissibility, like previous immigration violations, could complicate the process.
  • Program Changes: Programs like the Biden Parole Program may face legal challenges or changes in administration, affecting eligibility.
  • Documentation Errors: Incomplete or incorrect documentation can lead to delays or denials.
