Immigration
Asylum protects people in the United States who fear persecution in their home country. You generally must apply within one year of your last arrival, unless an exception applies. In New Jersey, affirmative cases are interviewed by USCIS, while cases of people already in removal proceedings are heard by immigration judges at the Newark or Elizabeth immigration courts.

Most green card holders can apply for U.S. citizenship on Form N-400 after five years as a permanent resident, or three years if married to and living with a U.S. citizen. The filing fee is $760 on paper or $710 online, and New Jersey applicants interview at USCIS field offices in Newark, Cranbury or Mount Laurel depending on where they live.

Immigration
A marriage green card is a federal process, so the rules are the same in New Jersey as everywhere else. The U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse files Form I-130, and the immigrant spouse then either adjusts status inside the U.S. with Form I-485 or goes through consular processing abroad. If you have been married less than two years when the green card is approved, it is conditional and you must later file Form I-751.
