All guidesMarriage green card in New Jersey: the process step by step
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.
