Before starting the marriage green card application, gather these essential documents. The USCIS marriage green card process requires thorough documentation to prove your relationship is genuine:

• Legal marriage certificate – The official document from the jurisdiction where you were married
• Proof of divorce from previous marriages (when applicable) – Court-issued divorce decrees or death certificates
• Proof of foreign spouse’s legal entry into the U.S. (if applying from within the U.S.) – I-94 record, visa stamps, or entry records
• Foreign spouse’s birth certificate – Original with certified translation if not in English
• Proof of sponsoring spouse’s status – U.S. passport, birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or green card

USCIS will scrutinize your relationship, so provide substantial evidence showing you share a life together:

• Financial documents: Joint bank accounts, insurance policies, tax returns, loan documents
• Property records: Joint lease/mortgage agreements, property titles, utility bills in both names
• Photos together: Vacation pictures, family gatherings, wedding photos (with dates and descriptions)
• Communication history: Text messages, emails, phone logs, social media interactions
• Travel records: Flight itineraries, hotel bookings showing joint travel
• Sworn affidavits: Statements from friends and family who can attest to your genuine relationship
• Children’s documents: Birth certificates, adoption records, school records (if applicable)

Getting a marriage green card can be expensive, and costs vary depending on your situation. Here’s what you need to budget for in 2025:
