Do I have to marry a US citizen in America or in my country to receive my greencard?

That should not necessarily have a bearing on your greencard status. When an individual is getting their green card based on marriage, the important part is having a valid American marriage to an American and that can happen in Another Country if that is where you want your wedding to take place. When a U.S. citizen marries a non-U.S. citizen, the couple will have to participate in a marriage interview so the non-U.S. citizen can obtain permanent residency. The marriage interview is used to assist the Immigration authorities in determining the legitimacy of the marriage.

If a person with valid visa marries a US citizen what documents or status does he obtain right away?
That person doesn't receive anything automatically. If the citizen applies for the person to become a permanent resident, the person will receive a green card, which will allow them to obtain a social security number, driver's license, etc. The process usually takes from 1-3 years and is very expensive. If the couple has not been married for 2 years, the greencard is conditional. This means that if there is divorce within 2 years of obtaining the greencard, it will be taken away. The alien can apply for citizenship 3 years after receiving the greencard as long as s/he is still married to the same US citizen. Immigration benefits should play ABOLUTELY NO role in your decision about who and when to marry. If you get married for immigration benefits, it is considered a felony fraud, whether the citizen you married was in on it or not.

If you marry an illegal immigrant and have children can you lose benefits such as Medicare and food stamps?
No, in fact, the illegal alien becomes legal. Anyone who marries an American citizen OR green card holder will become legal. No questions asked. If you receive government benefits, marrying an illegal alien will not stop that. The illegal alien himself cannot receive those benefits but his US citizen spouse and/or US citizen children can as long as they qualify. This could hurt the process of getting him his greencard in the future, however, since the US citizen spouse has to prove that she can support the alien. If she has been on welfare, she obviously hasn't been supporting him and this could make it so he can't get his greencard. Do not use government benefits unless they are absolutely necessary to feed your children. Try to maintain your family on your own. When I married my husband they told me I had to sign papers that my family would not be eligible for food stamps. I I think it is an attempt to keep families from working the system which I completely agree with and I was actually quite happy that the government was doing something about the people coming here just to live off the money that we work so hard for.
