Spouse Immigration Law

Marriages and weddings have their own share of excitement and complexities and leading a married life is quite simple if the two people are from the same region or even the same country. However, if the people are from a different country, things may be a bit difficult.

One should be careful before applying for citizenship under the prevailing spouse immigration law. The marriage is the fundamental concept of such laws, and therefore all documents and certificates pertaining to the marriage should be genuine and available at any time. If some document or certificate does take time, it is suggested that one waits for the given time frame as documents and certificates under the spouse immigration law are scrutinized strictly, and that would be the whole basis of whether permission to immigrate is granted or not.

As far as United States spouse immigration law is concerned, they are rather simple and hassle free. If a US citizen marries someone living and a natural citizen of another country, the alien becomes an 'immediate relative' of the US citizen and can therefore get a green card on the basis of the marriage.

Other than the actual spouse immigration law visa, there is also the fianc visa. Under this immigration law, the citizen of the US should remain unmarried until the fianc arrives in the US, and also the wedding should take place within three months of the fianc's arrival into the United States of America.

To become a US citizen, one must go through what is called the 'naturalization process'. Once this naturalization process is done with, the individual becomes a legal permanent citizen of the US and gains a number of rights and privileges, such as the right to vote, Social Security, United States passport, and some security privileges.
