How long after getting married?

There is no specific time period during which a petition must be held off after the celebration of a marriage. We have had many people file green card petitions for their spouses in the week after the marriage ceremony. I note that we did see one time that a divorce decree stated that the couple could not remarry for a certain period, but other than that, I do not know of any other restrictions.
