The following is an overview of the Adjustment of Status Process

The Adjustment of Status Process:

Spouses of U.S. citizens are considered "immediate relatives" and are exempt from quota limitations and may be granted immediate residency when the documents are processed. Applicants married to permanent residents may have a much longer waiting period.

If the both the US resident and the foreign spouse live in the US a petition with supporting documents is filed with the appropriate USCIS office. The USCIS will generally issue employment authorization and permission to travel outside the U.S. ("advance parole") to the foreign spouse shortly after the application is submitted and while it is pending. Thereafter you will receive a notice of an interview conducted by the USCIS. The final issuance of the permanent residency (green card) may take between 6-18 months depending on USCIS workload; however, the foreign spouse may remain in the US, work and travel (with appropriate permits) while his/her application is being processed.

Thereafter, the foreign spouse is granted Conditional Permanent Resident status. The conditional status is removed by submitting a joint petition within 90 days of the 2-year anniversary of the granting of the conditional permanent resident status; however this may be waived if there has been a divorce or death of the US citizen spouse before the two years are completed.
