Congratulations on your marriage! As the spouse of a US citizen, you fall into the Immediate Relative category, meaning there is no annual visa number cap for your petition. This is one of the fastest paths to a green card.
The process involves two main steps: your husband files an I-130 Petition for Alien Relative on your behalf, then you file an I-485 Application to Adjust Status (if you are already in the US lawfully) or go through consular processing abroad. Current USCIS processing times for I-485 adjustment cases in the Dallas area are running approximately 12 to 18 months, though this can vary.
If you are outside the US, consular processing through the National Visa Center and a US embassy is typically faster, often 12 to 14 months total from filing to visa issuance.
There are important eligibility requirements and potential complications depending on your entry history and immigration status. We strongly recommend scheduling a consultation to review your specific situation before filing.
