My wife and I were just recently married on May 25,2011. i'm a US citizen, and she's an immigrant. We are planning to go to a lawyer soon to get her citizenship/greencard process started, but we don't know what papers to bring for the lawyer or where to start.
My recommendation is to ask that attorney as each one has different documents they want to see up front. To read about the two types of green card processing for your type of case, please go to my website.
Congratulations on your marriage. As for what to bring, start with the basics: 1. Passports 2. Photos of the wedding 3. Birth certificates 4. Marriage license 5. Any criminal history information The lawyer's office should also have a list of what to bring to a first meeting.
