Green Card Procedures for Spouses From Specific Countries
While the basic rules on getting a green card for a husband or wife from a country outside the United States are the same for virtually everyone, it's worth looking into certain country-specific details. You'll want to find out, for example, what qualifies as a valid marriage if you actually held, or will hold the marriage ceremony in that country; which U.S. consulate will handle the immigrant visa interview; and more.
