Naturalization for Spouses of U.S. Citizens

In general, you may qualify for naturalization under Section 319(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) if you

• Have been a permanent resident (green card holder) for at least 3 years
• Have been living in marital union with the same U.S. citizen spouse during such time
• Meet all other eligibility requirements under this section

In certain cases, spouses of U.S. citizens employed abroad may qualify for naturalization regardless of their time as permanent residents. These spouses may qualify under Section 319( B) of the INA.   

For more information, see USCIS Policy Manual Citizenship and Naturalization Guidance.

For information relating to spouses of military members, see our Members of the Military and Their Families page. Also for information about becoming a permanent resident or petitioning for family members, please visit our Green Card or Family webpages.

• Be 18 or older
• Be a permanent resident (green card holder) for at least 3 years immediately preceding the date of filing Form N-400, Application for Naturalization

Check this out (to prove that your relation ship/marriage is genuine)

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to obtain a green card (U.S. lawful permanent residence) based on marriage, you will have to prove that the marriage is bona fide. This means a marriage in which the two people intend, from the start, to establish a life together as husband and wife.

("Husband and husband" and "wife and wife" works, too -- as of the Supreme Court's 2013 decision to strike down the federal "Defense of Marriage Act" (DOMA), same-sex marriages count for U.S. immigration purposes, so long as they are legally valid in the state or country where they were entered into.)

Although marriage can mean different things to different people, a marriage entered into for the sole purpose of getting the immigrant a green card is clearly not bona fide. It’s called a “sham” or “fraudulent” marriage.

Uncovering sham marriages is a top priority of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which believes that a high number of the marriage-based green card applications it receives are fraudulent. USCIS is well aware that some U.S. citizens accept money to marry a foreign-born person, and some even create illegal, organized services that arrange marriages between U.S. citizens and green-card-seeking foreign nationals.

The result is that, when it comes to deciding whether a marriage is bona fide, USCIS will take a hard look, and expect the applicant to provide plenty of solid proof that their marriage is the real thing.

Below are some ways that you can prepare to supply the needed proof, including steps you can take far in advance.

Take Steps to Join Your Lives Together

Don’t wait until the last minute to look for ways that you can prove that you are really married, that you live together (if you already do) and that you trust each other enough to share financial and other personal matters. Also take steps to prepare for a future together. For example, a U.S. citizen in a sham marriage might not remember to add his or her new spouse as a beneficiary to a company-sponsored life insurance policy – while someone in a real marriage would, or at least should.

Some other important steps might include:

• make your spouse a beneficiary on your retirement account or other accounts that require or allow a payout to a beneficiary upon the holder’s death
• make sure that both spouses are covered under your health insurance policy (if possible, and if the other spouse doesn't have his or her own insurance)
• if you live together, add your spouse to your house deed, mortgage, or apartment lease
• if you live together, add your spouse’s name to your garbage, utility, cable, and other bills
• take out a joint credit card
• open a joint bank account
• file joint tax returns
• join a gym or club together, or
• buy a car or other major asset together.

Keep Records Demonstrating Your Relationship

You will be asked, at various points throughout the application process, to supply documentary proof of your shared life. So, in addition to keeping copies of the contracts or other documents that go with the above-described matters (i.e. an apartment lease or car title), you should set aside copies of other records and documents showing that you are really married. These might include:

• letters or emails you wrote to each other, alluding to your relationship or your wedding plans
• receipts from trips you made to see each other, such as for airplane tickets or hotel bills
• copies of phone bills showing calls you made to each other
• photos of your wedding and other family events (but not videos, these take too long for the immigration authorities to view)
• cards or letters sent to both of you at the same address
• receipts for gifts (such as an engagement ring, flowers, or chocolate) that you have bought for each other
• birth certificates of children you’ve had or adopted together, or a doctor’s report stating that you are pregnant, or a fertility specialist’s report indicating that you are trying.

You won’t need to provide every one of these – just a carefully selected batch of the most convincing documents. Which will be most convincing? The ones that can’t easily be faked. For example, anyone can stage photos of themselves in wedding dress or tux (though it’s good to provide a few wedding photos as part of the mix), but very few couples would join all or most of their finances, hold lots of family events, or have a baby for the sake of a sham marriage.

You will NOT get citizenship directly ,but a green card for 3 years (most probably a conditional green card)..and you need to apply for  citizenship if all conditions of the green card are met
