With respect to immigration status, in the United States the answer is no. The US federal government does not recognize same-sex relationships. In Canada, Mexico, Israel, and European countries that have legalized same-sex marriage or civil partnerships, the answer is yes.
Marriage to a green card holder can potentially help you obtain a green card through a process called "family-based immigration." This can lead to a change in your immigration status, allowing you to live and work in the United States as a lawful permanent resident.
Same-sex marriage has been legal in Massachusetts since 2004, when it became the first state in the U.S. to legalize it.
Being a green card holder can affect marriage and immigration status by allowing the holder to sponsor their spouse for a green card, which can lead to permanent residency for the spouse. This can provide the spouse with legal status in the United States and the ability to work and live in the country.
Status of immigration is normally not a factor. You simply apply for the license at the court house.
The process is the same for marrying anyone, regardless of immigration status. There is no citizenship requirement for obtaining a marriage license marriage in Missouri.
Marriage to a non-US citizen can affect the green card holder's immigration status by potentially allowing the non-US citizen spouse to apply for a green card through marriage. This process involves proving the validity of the marriage and meeting other requirements set by the U.S. immigration authorities. If successful, the non-US citizen spouse may be granted a green card, which can lead to permanent residency in the United States for both spouses.
You can sponsor your sibling by filing to "adjust status." Your sibling is currently "out of status" by the overstay and risking deportation. File the AOS I-485 package immediately.
