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.

Can a naturalized citizen endanger their citizenship by marrying a non US citizen?
No, but they need to make sure that the person you are going to marry is of legal status. * Naturalized citizenship is subject to revocation at any time if circumstances warrant. For example, if the person marries a non citizen for the specific purpose of helping the non citizen obtain permanent resident or citizenship status. If a violation occurs before the person has been natulized for two years then revocation can be done uncer existing immigration and citizenship laws. If the violation occurs after two years then the justice department must follow the legal procdures for the person to be denaturalized in the federal court.
If a citizen marries and applies for a green card for the spouse and the spouse comes to US and is abusive how can the citizen send this person back?
Contact the INS. They would be able to help you. The person cannot just be "sent back" simply because the US citizen has changed his or her mind about the marriage. If the person has the conditional green card, the US citizen can refuse to file the joint petition to remove the conditions, but that does not guarantee that the person will not be able to obtain the permanant greencard. Once a person has legally immigrated to the US, it takes a lot for him or her to be deported. Any US citizen can bring a person to the US, but he/she cannot have the person deported for personal reasons. Marriages fail every day. Whether the ex is allowed to stay in the United States or not is not the concern of the American spouse, but of the INS officer who gets assigned to the case.
