    H1b Visa Holder Marrying a U.S. Citizen
    Hello,
    I'm a H1B visa holder and my visa runs until 2014. The company I work for is willing to apply for a Green card on my behalf (though I haven't yet applied). I also plan to marry my fiancee, who is an American citizen, next year.
    My question is: If I apply for a green card through my company, can i fast track the process to get my green card quicker (by virtue of marrying a US citizen)?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    It's going to be faster to get permanent residency through a spouse than through and employer. The rest depends upon how soon you marry and how quickly your spouse petitions for your permanent residency after marriage.
