Yes you can become a citizen but it is not automatic because you married a US citizen. You have one thing going for you - your green card. You have to file form N400 - Naturalization papers with the INS to become a citizen. It might take a while because since 9/11, the US has tightened the whole Immigration process and that's good. So, go to the INS home page, printoff the N400, read it carefully and thoroughly, and go from there. You might want to get some qualified help (Attorney, catholic charities, pro bono organizations for immigration, etc). Hope this helps Thank you for the help. i will have my girl try it out. her Green Cards expires in 2 years.

There is no need for a legal Green card holder to marry a USC for the sake of becoming a USC. If that person is a GC holder for 5 years and is above 18 yrs of age and maintained the required continuous residence criteria, then he/she can become a USC on his/her own.

∙ 12y agoAnyone can marry a US citizen, green card or not. The marriage does not automatically give any special privileges to the newly married person. The US citizen can petition for you to be permitted to apply for residency, etc.
It is not necessary to be a green card holder to marry a US Citizen. It is important to stay in the US legally with proper immigration papers in order to marry a US citizen.

∙ 12y agoOf course Yes!! Getting a Green card by marrying a US citizen is the most easiest ways of becoming a PR. After marrying a USC the dependent will be issued a conditional green card which is valid for 2 yrs. The conditional green card holder should apply to remove the conditions on the card and adjust the status to that of a permanent resident before the expiry of the card.
Application Process:
- File in form I-751 jointly with the USC spouse, if you are still married to that spouse.
- Submit the form along with all the needed proof before 90 days of the Second wedding anniversary
- Pay the filing fee of $505 + $85 ( biometrics)

∙ 11y agoIt doesn't bar you from becoming a US citizen, but it doesn't automatically make you one either. You still have to go through a citizenship process, though the one for spouses of citizens is a little more streamlined.
