Wow your timeline is so much faster than mine and you’re so lucky! I submitted my application on Sept 2020. I only got a notice for my biometrics in Feb 2021 and I still haven’t gotten my EAD yet (it’s almost May 2021). 😞
Hi Christina, great video and really helpful. We will try to follow you and support. Quick question, if you dont mind, did you plan the big wedding after the green card process was completed?
Hi! Thank you so much for the video! Just curious, which field office did your case get process to? Your EAD card got approved seemed so much faster than usual!
Hi Christina! Thank you for making this very informative video!! It's super helpful. I have a question though.. whenever you got married to your husband back in July of 2019, were you a recent grad or did you still have a few years left to go?
Forgive me as I'm still learning this whole entire process, but my girlfriend is a Chinese citizen who is going to school in the US and we've recently been seriously discussing the possibility of her getting her green card through marriage. Im 23 and she's 26 and I'm still a bit intimidated to get married at my current age ( I feel not quite ready yet). She has a student visa for 3 more years with her doctorate program and it seems that marriage is the only reliable way that she can get US citizenship (going the job route seems very unpredictable). Of course, I would be beyond happy to get married to her, but I just need a bit more time. However, I also don't want to wait too long, because I know that the sooner she becomes a citizen, the sooner she will be able to find a good job and also have to worry less about her future. I don't want to rush into something like getting married, but I also know that its good to plan out something like this way ahead of time, as I would be devastated if she had to go back to China for some time due to her not getting her citizenship soon enough. Let's say we plan on getting married in a year from now (2024). Do you think that would leave enough time for her to get her green card before she is forced to go back to China in 2026 after he student visa expires?
Hello, I was wondering how long you and your partner were together before getting married? I was reading that it is a red flag if you haven’t been with your significant other for a long time? Was the interview process difficult? Any information would be sooo helpful!! Thank you
So we met in 2017 but didn't start dating until January 2019, and got married in July 2019. We were nervous to talk about how quickly we got married but when the officer asked us how long we had been together we just said "we met in 2017" :). And yes, we're still happily married now.
Could you tell us a bit more about the medical exam component? When do you have to do it? Also, do vaccination records from your home country work? Thank you!
I did it before I submitted my application. I couldn’t find my vaccination records and couldn’t remember if I ever got the exact shots so I just went and got the required shots again in the US.
Hi, this is very helpful. Have you changed your last name before the green card application process? And if so, did you also need to renew your passport for new name? Thanks
Hey! My sister got her green card recently (and I'm currently applying also through marriage) and she only changed her license name and not her passport.
@@ma.noelajessettearcega837 I have the perfect thing to help you! I used what’s called Simple Citizen. Since lawyers cost so much I wanted to find a different way and they have lawyers there to review your green card and also they have a support team that can help you every step of the way. They also have a different format for the questions so it’s a lot easier to understand (instead of the tiny text). After you finish and get reviews and you’re all good to go, they mail you the form so all you have to do is attach the checks and send it to USCIS. And it’s only $500 vs the thousands that lawyers usually cost 🙌
This was very helpful.. If you don’t mind me asking did your F1 visa got expired by any chance or you got married while it was still active? If expired and still in the US I’m thinking a lawyer would be needed.
Your visa is only for traveling in and out of the US. If you’re still in the US and are actively enrolled in a school program you should be fine. That’s what my situation was.
Thank you for this video. We went with Simple Citizen per your recommendation! Very helpful video. How long did it take them to receive your application after you mailed it?
Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful. I can’t remember hit it was pretty quick. I feel like I got the invitation to submit biometrics within 2 weeks or so
This video has helped me massively! Thank you! I just have a couple questions… With the vaccination record I’m guessing you’d get that from your home country? And with the physical exam I’m guessing you’d have to go to a dr over in the US and pay for this to get done? Thank you 😇
Hi John! I could not find my records so I went and got my shots done locally and I also found a USCIS approved doctor locally when I was in California :)
Hello, thanks for the video, can I ask, did you do and complete your physical and shots before the start of your application? I don't have any records of my vaccinations. Thank you.
I am a U.S citizen. How much money do I need to have in my bank to sponsor a foreign wife? How much money do I need to make in order to sponsor a foreign wife? How many years back do they look at my income? Do they look at my credit score? I am currently a PhD student and am not working. Can I sponsor a foreign wife and not work? It'd be extremely difficult for me to go to school and work at the same time. It'll take me a few more years to graduate. We've been in a long-distance relationship for almost 5 years now. I haven't been back to her country for over 2 years because of COVID-19. It looks like my relationship is doomed to fail.
Hi! I don’t know for sure since I’m not a lawyer and it’s been a minute since I did this but from what I remember, your salary needs to be above the national poverty line. Just Google what it is in 2022
@@ChristinasSideHustles No i meant if you have sent like an album together with your forms upon application or did you just bring it on your interview?
@@ChristinasSideHustles how much did you pay for simply citizen btw? And can you please quote the total amount of expenses you made for the application? Thank you
@@ma.noelajessettearcega837 it’s been almost 4 years since my application so prices changed a lot. I bought the Deluxe package on SC. I remember the total for SC and government fees was like $2500+ I think. But again, that was in 2019

my boyfriend came to america through school but during covid they were suppose to renew it and since he wasn’t able too he now had an inspired visa. how would that work for him? we want to get married but want to know the steps to take the right way to help us. this is new to us.
How did you go about finding the total to pay the uscis after receiving your package from simple citizen ? And how did you go about paying card or a paper check?
My situation is also my fiancé is enrolled in school with a f1 visa until 2024 and we want to get a jump in the process so she does not have to go back home! If you have any tips if the f1 visa conflicts anything or eases the process as well?
So I was on F1 visa myself so that shouldn’t be an issue at all. Simple Citizen and USCIS tell you exactly how much you need to pay. I mailed physical checks with my paper application to them.
Hello Christina, Thank you so much for the video. Me and my partner had a small wedding this year with two witneses( her dad and sister) and planning to have a big ceremony next year in our anniversary day. We booked our venue, photographer and she bought her wedding dress. I know you are not a lawyer but we have similar case, and i was wondering if i should attach this documents to my case and let USCIS officer know that we are going to have a big ceremony next year. Would that help my case? Thank you!
Our officer didn’t even ask any wedding details. Plenty of ppl get married in small ceremonies. I think you should be good especially since you had family as wetnesses
So I’m about to also use simple citizen but I was told from a online lawyer if we file the petition for relative with the green card application it self and not separately they will say it’s fraud , so did you have to send any forms separately or did you get married use simple citizen and just send in the one packet with all forms ?
Thank you! I am a college student and i really need a husband. I have a question, how did your husband willing get marry? How did you find one? Thank you
Hey, did you applied before EAD card, if yes so how long did it takes? And what was your field office for your EAD, because I'm waiting from 7th months for my EAD card. Thanks

@@ChristinasSideHustles Hi Christina! Thank you for making this very informative video!! It's super helpful. I have a question though.. whenever you got married to your husband back in July 2019, had you just graduated from college or did you still have a few years left until graduation?
hi, say I were to marry an American woman, and get a green card that way. could I then work on my own (doing odd jobs, working online) while living in America? would this be allowed?
Once you get your work authorization or green card that should be fine as long as she has a solid full time job when you apply for green card just to show that your sponsor can support you while your green card is pending
USCIS websight says record updated that fingerprints were taken. No they werent. At least not in the united states'. She was fingerprinted in Japan for her fiance visa. I submitted i 485. I don't know what to think.
I have so many questions. My fiance and I are to marry soon in the Netherlands. This seems to be the fastest route for him to be able to come to the US. We are going to file the I-130 immediately following, but our main concern is him being able to work still. He can't move to the US until he can work. Should he apply for the EAD? How are you able to live in the US if you didn't have the Visa to begin with?
I’m not a lawyer so take this with a grain of salt. I would look into the K visa (fiancé visa). I’ve heard of that one from 90 day fiancé 😂 and in the video I said that I came to the US as a student years prior to meeting my husband and was in grad school when we got married
@@ChristinasSideHustles Yeah, we have looked into both fiance and spousal, and unfortunately the fiance visa means he can't work for almost a year and we are reliant on his salary, so getting married there makes the processing time quicker (oddly) because he can continue to work there while waiting for the Visa. There is so much info online thrown around with different wait times etc, it's really just a cluster. And I find it almost impossible to contact ANYONE with answers via USCIS. Thanks for your reply though.
Can this process be done if one is on TN visa ? Scenario: Canadian citizen on TN work visa marrying an American citizen in US. Can the employer who sponsored the Canadian on TN visa help with the process?
Your marriage visa is usually separate from employer visas so I would guess you have to do it on your own. I’m not a lawyer though so take it with a grain of salt :)
What if your birth certificate isn’t from the same country that you are a citizen of? I’m a Canadian citizen married to an American. But my birth certificate is from another country, can I not use my Canadian citizenship card as my birth certificate?
No you can't use your Canadian birth certificate. You either have to get a birth certificate of your country of birth or am affidavit to that effect. That backs up your claim.
Thank you christina. Iam married with children but I only what to apply with my children, should I apply as single or divorce because I fair I will not got the green card coz of married status 😊
Hello, we are currently going through this system, and my wife who is an American Citizen, will she need t I get a passport to get through this all or is it not needed?
I recommend consulting a lawyer but pretty much she needs to show proof or citizenship which could also be her birth certificate. But again, consult a professional :)
Hello Christina! I’m currently a student and American citizen. my girlfriend and I wants to get married and I want to sponsor her green card.

hi Christina! your video is super informative thanks! Couple of quick questions 1. Did you have to change the name on your original passport to your spouse's name prior to applying for green card? (Does it help with the process?) 2. Did you guys get your green card during year 1 and had to reapply for it after year 2 onwards of marriage? or were you guys married already for 2 years? Long story short, my wife and I are wanting to migrate back to the US as we're both abroad, but I'm trying to see which step is the best way forward- Wait until 2 year mark and apply, apply for CR1 Visa then reapply for green card after 2 years, etc.
Hi RJ! 1. No I didn’t. You’re not required to do so. In fact, I still have my maiden name. 2. I got my conditional card during year 1 which just expired. I just applied to remove conditions after 2 years.
Hi Elsie, thank you for visiting my channel and watching my video! There is a list of required vaccines that you can find on the USCIS website but I got the Tdap, MMR, and HepB. A lot of people get those shots when they are kids so if you have your immunization records, you can just use that to send to USCIS. I couldn't find mine so I had to get them again lol.

@@ChristinasSideHustles okay, thank you so much. I don't have any criminal record either and I was kind of confused because of that haha. Your husband is native American right?
Thanks for this video. Do you know if I can keep working under my TN Visa status while this process goes on?
I was able to work under my F1 visa so I don't think this should be an issue but I would check with a lawyer
@@ChristinasSideHustles thanks for replying
Thank you! You help us a lot with this video! god bless you. :)
Of course! you're very welcome!
Hi. Which visa were you in while waiting for Green Card application? Was it on a B2 visa?
I was on an F-1 visa. I came to the US as a student originally
@@ChristinasSideHustles Hi Christina! Thank you for making this very informative video!! It's super helpful. I have a question though.. whenever you got married to your husband back in July 2019, had you just graduated from college or did you still have a few years left until graduation?
@@leticiavenancio3804 I was 2 years post undergrad degree and half way through my master’s :)
How long were u married before u sent ur papers in?
Less than 2 months
Yes we had our photos all over social media even from when we were just friends. But nobody checked
hi, say I were to marry an American woman, and get a green card that way. could I then work on my own (doing odd jobs, working online) while living in America? would this be allowed?
Once you get your work authorization or green card that should be fine as long as she has a solid full time job when you apply for green card just to show that your sponsor can support you while your green card is pending
Hi I came here on F1 visa but I’m out of status now. Do you think I need a lawyer for my case ?Or I can apply Green card with Simple citizen.
I would consult a lawyer. I don't really know
USCIS websight says record updated that fingerprints were taken. No they werent. At least not in the united states'. She was fingerprinted in Japan for her fiance visa. I submitted i 485. I don't know what to think.
I’m sorry :(
I have so many questions. My fiance and I are to marry soon in the Netherlands. This seems to be the fastest route for him to be able to come to the US. We are going to file the I-130 immediately following, but our main concern is him being able to work still. He can't move to the US until he can work. Should he apply for the EAD? How are you able to live in the US if you didn't have the Visa to begin with?
I just realized I commented under my daughters name. Don't mind me
I’m not a lawyer so take this with a grain of salt. I would look into the K visa (fiancé visa). I’ve heard of that one from 90 day fiancé 😂 and in the video I said that I came to the US as a student years prior to meeting my husband and was in grad school when we got married
@@ChristinasSideHustles Yeah, we have looked into both fiance and spousal, and unfortunately the fiance visa means he can't work for almost a year and we are reliant on his salary, so getting married there makes the processing time quicker (oddly) because he can continue to work there while waiting for the Visa. There is so much info online thrown around with different wait times etc, it's really just a cluster. And I find it almost impossible to contact ANYONE with answers via USCIS. Thanks for your reply though.
Hello. What kind of vaccination records? Please specify
Vaccines that people usually get as kids. I forgot the entire list but you can Google vaccines required for green card approval
What if you're trying to get ur citizenship but u don't have ur birth paper on you and you visa passport has expired? What can I do
Unfortunately I’m not an immigration lawyer and don’t know much outside of my own experience. Sorry :(
@@ChristinasSideHustles oof :(
Did you get married while visiting on a fiancé visa?
No, F1 visa, I mentioned in the video :)
Can this process be done if one is on TN visa ? Scenario: Canadian citizen on TN work visa marrying an American citizen in US. Can the employer who sponsored the Canadian on TN visa help with the process?
Your marriage visa is usually separate from employer visas so I would guess you have to do it on your own. I’m not a lawyer though so take it with a grain of salt :)
Which package did you purchase? Deluxe or Professional?

What if your birth certificate isn’t from the same country that you are a citizen of? I’m a Canadian citizen married to an American. But my birth certificate is from another country, can I not use my Canadian citizenship card as my birth certificate?
No you can't use your Canadian birth certificate. You either have to get a birth certificate of your country of birth or am affidavit to that effect. That backs up your claim.
Nice that you share your experienced it will help to everyone applying for Green card 🙏🙏🙏
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching my video and hope you subscribe :D

What is EAD and Travel combo card? Do you have to submit I-765 and I-131 for that or is it different?
It's a card that they give you while your green card is pending so you can still work and travel. It's just 1 card.
@@ChristinasSideHustles with EAD card how much is that
How long after you submitted your application did your work permit come through?
6 months
You and your video is awesome!
Awww thank you so much!
Hello, we are currently going through this system, and my wife who is an American Citizen, will she need t I get a passport to get through this all or is it not needed?
I recommend consulting a lawyer but pretty much she needs to show proof or citizenship which could also be her birth certificate. But again, consult a professional :)
Hello Christina! I’m currently a student and American citizen. my girlfriend and I wants to get married and I want to sponsor her green card. But I don’t have a job currently, and I was wondering how that works. I was also an immigrant with a green card at one point, so I’m not sure if that would also affect.
Unfortunately I’m
Not a lawyer and I don’t know for sure but my husband had to prove his income and his ability to support us while my green card was pending even though I had a job myself.
Did you leave the country to go get the visa ?
No, I didn’t :)
Hello! New sub here. Are you of asian origin? Where you exactly from? Your english is so great, aren't you american already? 😊
Aww thank you for supporting my channel! I’m Vietnamese but I grew up in Russia. If you want to hear my full story and how I ended up in the US, I filmed a whole video about it :) check it out - th-cam.com/video/BedXpG0MFy0/w-d-xo.html
@@ChristinasSideHustles oh really.. i will definitely watch that video ☺️
Your story must be interesting when you started from Vietnam then to a cold war US rival and then finally ended up in the US mainland! 😊
Hi,
Do you have a simple citizen promo code I can use ?
I don’t unfortunately :(
I'm a student visa holder which forms do I need to fill out after marriage?
You should watch this video…
How long were you together before marriage?
We met about 2 years prior to getting married :)
Hi dear, lm trying to go through this process, so l can’t get on my husbands lease since l don’t have a social yet,is that a problem? Or can we go ahead and file and once l get my social l can always go on the lease?please help
I really wish I could answer this question but unfortunately, I don’t know since I already had a social when I applied ;(
This was super useful!
I’m glad to hear that😁
Does a petitioner really need to have a passport?
I don't believe my husband had to show his. We used his birth certificate to prove citizenship
hi Christina!
your video is super informative thanks! Couple of quick questions
1. Did you have to change the name on your original passport to your spouse's name prior to applying for green card? (Does it help with the process?)
2. Did you guys get your green card during year 1 and had to reapply for it after year 2 onwards of marriage? or were you guys married already for 2 years?
Long story short, my wife and I are wanting to migrate back to the US as we're both abroad, but I'm trying to see which step is the best way forward- Wait until 2 year mark and apply, apply for CR1 Visa then reapply for green card after 2 years, etc.
Hi RJ!
1. No I didn’t. You’re not required to do so. In fact, I still have my maiden name.
2. I got my conditional card during year 1 which just expired. I just applied to remove conditions after 2 years.
Thank you! Very helpful 💕
Solid work!
Hi. My husband wants to file for me to get green card, how do we go about it please?We don’t want to involve lawyer.
Thank you.
Hi Korkor, I walk you through the steps to take in this video :) Feel free to watch till the end and it should give you the answers
Hi. What are the vaccines did you get?
Hi Elsie, thank you for visiting my channel and watching my video! There is a list of required vaccines that you can find on the USCIS website but I got the Tdap, MMR, and HepB. A lot of people get those shots when they are kids so if you have your immunization records, you can just use that to send to USCIS. I couldn't find mine so I had to get them again lol.
@@ChristinasSideHustles for me I don’t know if I really don’t have that vaccine. Did they test you first before giving you those vaccine?
Ты большая молодец!
Спасибо )))
Congratulations
Thank you so so much!

I'll hire a call girl for the Green Car

Hey Christina! Could i get any of your social media so that i can ask you personally about my questions? I would appreciate it. Thank you.
