The US citizen must file the immigrant petition for the applicant.Form I-130 is used for that purpose. Once that is approved then the applicant's priority date should be considered. It is essential that the priority date should be current.This procedure is for Lawful permanent residents who got married after obtaining a Green Card.
The other case is where the Lawful permanent resident got married before obtaining the green Card.In such cases, there is no need of an approved immigrant petition. Lawful Permanent Residents who have adjusted their status to that of a Lawful Permanent Resident should file Form I-824 (Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition). This is to notify the appropriate consulate that their spouse will accompany or follow to join them in the US.

There are several different ways. You usually begin by getting a visa by the USCIS in the USA or at a USA embassy or consulate in your home country. The fastest way to obtain a Permanent Resident alien visa (green card) is through marriage to a US citizen or, more specifically, through a relative (a parent, spouse, or sibling over 21 years old who is a US citizen or a permanent resident alien who owns a green card). There are many different kinds of visas including employment, fiance/ee, and tourist (although tourist visas usually will never lead to a green card).2 broad categories of green cards are as follows:Employment-based immigration which includes the EB1, EB2, and EB3 categoriesFamily-based or marriage-based immigrationThe applicable process depends on your current citizenship and family heritage.

US citizen marries a non-citizen do they become a US citizen?
No, marriage to US citizen does not automatically allow a non-citizen to become a permanent resident or citizen of the US.Marriage does entitle the non-citizen to apply for US permanent residency, provided they can show they will be living in the US. For example, if a US citizen married a German citizen, and they continue to live in Germany, the german citizen cannot apply for a US permanent resident visa. If, at some time later, the couple decide to move back to the US, the German citizen can at that time apply for a permanent residency visa. Such marriage-based permanent resident visas are almost always granted once the couple shows proper residency intent (and, shows that the marriage is not a sham or fraud one).Any non-citizen holding a US permanent residency visa can apply for US citizenship via the nationalization process. The key requirements of the citizenship process are:Be a permanent resident for at least 5 years (or 3 if married to a US citizen)Reside continuously (except for short-duration excursions) in the US for that period of timeHave a clean criminal record, or obtain a specific waiver from an immigration judgeAttend proper citizenship classes
