A US Citizen can file an I-130 for non-citizen spouse. USCIS will send a Notice of Action indicating receipt of the Petition. The US Citizen can then file an I-129F to obtain a K-3 visa on behalf of the non-citizen spouse. Once the non-citizen spouse enters the US on the K-3, an adjustment of status needs to be filed to get a green card. If you are having difficulty paying for the filing fees or for an attorney, you should call a nonprofit legal aid provider to assist you. If you do not know what needs to happen, you should seek the assistance of counsel.
