My girlfriend is currently living in Florida and I am in Ohio. We have known each other almost 3 years. She is here in the USA and her visa has expired. How can I get her a green card? Would marriage be best? I plan on moving to Florida in the next 6 months to be with her. What is the best way for her to get her green card? Or what are her best options? Thank You.
Hello,
If you are a U.S. citizen, you should be able to file an application for your girlfriend to get a green card after you marry her. It is very important that you both consult with an experienced immigration lawyer in your city in advance and do take her passport and proof of entry to the U.S. with you. Please review any immigration and criminal history she may have with the lawyer to make certain that you will not face complications with your application. Good Luck.
