If my spouse is a permanent resident, can I file for a marriage-based visa?

Yes, if your spouse is a permanent resident of Washington, you can file for a marriage-based visa. In order to do so, you must prove that your marriage is a valid one by providing evidence such as joint financial documents, photographs, and other proof of your relationship. You must also submit a copy of your passport and documents showing a valid U.S. immigration status. Additionally, you must fill out Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, and submit it to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). After your petition is approved, you may apply for a visa in the immigration category that is most appropriate for your situation. Once you have your marriage-based visa, you will be eligible to apply for a green card, which will make you a permanent resident of the United States. To do so, you must fill out Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. You will need to provide additional documentation such as birth certificates, evidence of financial support, marriage certificate, and more. Following submission, you and your spouse will be required to attend an interview with an immigration officer. After the interview and all the proper documentation, you may be approved for a green card and will be able to live and work in the United States.
