Well in as much as i have closely and thoroughly read through various post and topics i havent seen a forum where by non immigrant US visa holders could regularise there papers via marriage, weather fake or real i know its all same process, i would love the contributors in the house to please educate intending migrants through this means on the necessary documents involved fee involved and also best way to go about it,

USCIS Fees= $1365
Medical fee=$200-$300
Lawyer fee=$1500-$3000
Wedding fee=$300-$800
Wife charges if is a marriage fraud=$3000-$20000 depending on your state, girl, pocket, and game
Waiting period all things being equal and perfect=5months
One thing for sure if u passed the Background check u will get your Employment Authorzation Document which u can use to get a Social Security number which allow u to work even though if your Green card application is refused. Social Security number is issued to u for life.

Just stay out of crime. Even if your Visa has expired 10years ago so far u enter the country legally then u can file in. but if u came in through mexico by swimming then forget it u have to go back to 9ja to get your papers if is a long thing. But if u were legally admitted then no caus efor alarm u gonna get your paper. If they refuse u go to vegas and divorce the girl immediately. Vegas Divorce system is very fast is like 3 weeks then marry another woman and go again. Dont ask me won;t that be suspicious. hell no everybody comes with intention to defraud them so it now depends on your fraud skills. USA Immigration is ba wahala. No stress unlike UK
Though i stand to be corrected if i will ever be on the above

@oyewolejos medical fee is about $250-$300 but the wedding fee no reach $800, YOU buy your marriage licence $75 you pay the Judge $50, wedding don set any other expenditure na OYO , if the marriage is for real i dont see the need for a lawyer cause all the info u need is on the internet , even the the marriage na game n u play ur cards well u still dont need a lawyer , like u earlier said USA immigration is not an issue except you no want just help urself i fink in all without paying lawyer n woman u no suppose spend pass $1500

ciao

Since u think u too know why ask questions in the first place.
If u dont need a lawyer who is gonna file the tax for u?
Who is gonna make sure u get your marriage license in 2 hours instead of a month wait at the court?
Who is gonna package the whole documents to make it look real a bit?
This is how 9jerians mess themselves up.
Moreover all the charges i quoted was just an estimate. I put $100-$800
$1500 for the whole process? Are u kidding me? Please tell me where to do that?
It would have been better if people can read before replying from their balls.

My brother please no vex.

Some people are just silly, and I mean you notjustok, you came to ask for advice, and you're fighting and trading words with someone who bothered to advise you. You're not even grateful, some judgemental Nairaland members would have been calling you all sorts for doing "Green Card" marriage.

@Oyewolejos: i know you very much but most of the information you gave were very much incorrect.
You DO NOT need a lawyer to file for permanent residency through marriage to a USC. The immigrations forms are very self explanatory and all you need is to attach supporting documents such as marriage certificate, bank statements, life insurance if any, tax transcripts, rental agreement. I dont understand what you mean by the attorney filling tax for ya cuz u file ur own taxes.
Again, U dont automatically get an employment authorization document (EAD) when u apply for an application to adjust status unless u applied for an EAD and should your application to adjust status is denied, ur EAD will automatically be revoked. yes, you can apply for a social security number with the EAD but what good will the number do ya when ur application to adjust status is denied and EAD automatically revoked.

Looking at some of the stuff you wrote, i can tell that u obviously have no clue as to what u're talking about. When it comes to divorce, you'll have to be a resident of a state in order to apply for divorce. so you talking about running up to vegas to get a divorce is pretty much impossible. And yes, you'll have to show proof of residency which u pretty much can't make up.

Why would you think it wouldn't raise a red flag if USCIS denied your greencard application through marriage and then a few wks later, u file another application with a completely different woman/man Just think about what u said Mister.

As much as you think u know very much about the US, u absolutely know very little. You've only been here for a few months.
And one issue that i have with ya is your arrogance. U don't have to insult other people on here if you don't agree with what they have to say. We are all here to learn.
Just take it easy my brotha. Life is too short

USCIS has been more efficient in the last yr or so. Adjustment of Status through marriage is taking about 6 to 8 months from the day USCIS gets the application to the date of interview.

@johnkent

nice post u made there.
For Marriage in Nevada: No residency requirement
For Divorce in Nevada: Either party must have been resident for at least 6 weeks

@jhon kent & Mr president
Bro am guessing the I -131 form which permits you to leave the country while ur petition is still on does it really work and under normal circumstance while filling the i-785 request for employment do people married to US citizens fall under C9 category

@ House pls ignore that OYEWOLEJO boy i have told him what to do he has ma email he should send me his i would be more than willing to meet him outside nairaland,  if he cant do that then house plsss lets move on wif the issue at hand,

I guess you're talking about advance Parole. Yes, its okay to travel with it overseas but i would recommend you wait a few more months to travel overseas until u get the greencard.
And Yes, C9 category is correct and you can file for EAD with ur form I-485
Let me know if you need any help

Johnkent,

By your robust responses, it's ovbious you are well grounded & better positioned to illuminate/advice on the subject matter. If u don't mind, pls foward me ur e-mail add/contact details or reach me on uche_pngene@yahoo.com. There are a couple of clarifications I need to make, one on one with u. Cheers

You better address that line to your never-do-well family, if you know what's good for you. Stupid piece of shizz. You see your mate here ? If you've been on the street like you claim, you would know the first rule is. Never bite the hands that feeds you. You obviously have not learnt this, which is why you'll keep coming here to ask for help. Murafacker.

Guys, I think all these verbal mudslinging on this forum are uncalled for. Let us tow the path of decorum & excercise restrains especially per our comments/responses on others. Certain exceptions would suffice, however when such resistance are invariably aimed @ individuals with fraudulent tendencies, I beg una!

Now my concern is on the workability of green card thru marriage, timeframe, the challenges, etc in the states. Could this be considered a preferable/easier route towards green card for someone who is legally in the US, but with a B1/B2 visa, otherwise what other options are available in this circumstance. Pls I want to be guided. Tnx to all potential helpful contributors, notjustok, Johnkent, etc,

Bro sincerely speaking this route remains the fastest and easiest if genuine yess other means may be available but not really accessible for those under the B1B2 category , time frame from my findings depends on where you are located texas 6months max if you gat no issues wif filling of the form and medicals and if you submit all document as required, Now 2 weeks from when you file you get yor ur receipt of payment and receipt number 30days from when u file you are sent a notification for biometrics a month and some weeks after your sent your work permit now u go get your SSN and then you wait for notification for greencard interview, like i have said and would always say if genuine you need no lawyers but you must study the requirements carefully ok, hope this helps,

Tnx, Notjustok, I appreciate your response, but thinks it's certainly not going to be as seamless as your postings suggests, genuine marriage or not. You & I understand that most of these packages are arrangee. What's d idea abt the refusal/denial rates of such applications + other inherent challenges. Would'nt other options suffice if this appear more or less like staking ones destiny with, & taking a gamble with sm1 who may bleep u up along d line, Your post 's been quite helpful all the same.

Execu well ma write ups are based on personal experience, you see arengee works if properly done but like u also noted the probabilty of the gurl snitching on you is higher if its arengee, thats why i advise ma people that genuine marraige remains the best but just incase this genuiness can not be attainable due to some certain reasons then the applicant must and should understand the what is involved howw by lots of research and questions. well if the gurl bleeps on you then ma broder its either you didnt do your home work well or mennnn its just bad luck, but ihavent seen or heared of a nigerian that was deported due to this reason, well if its arengee then i suggest you use an atorney,

Thanks for your clarifications Notjustok. I can understand your perspective & it does makes sence. Thanks again for sharing part of your personal expiriences. If u are discreet to bare it all here, then dial me up on 08122629797 or fwd me ur e-mail addie.
