    Default Sponsoring a Spouse After More than Two Years of Marriage

    Hello, my wife and me married for 2 years already. We both lived in US more than 10 years, i am citizen, and she is H1B. If i want to file green card for her, she will get 10 years green card instead of conditional 2'years green card, right? What forms and documents do I need to file? Do i have to pay I130 and I485 combine?

    Default Re: Citizen Sponsor for H1b

    Presumably you are a US Citizen. If so, if you were married more than TWO YEARS on the day she applies for the green card, then she won't get a conditional one.

    You need to be prepared to pay in addition to the i-130 and i-485 any fees associated with any i-212 waivers if they raise at the hearing for any issues related to your marriage not being properly processed. Otherwise, you should be fine. It should not be hard to make her a citizen by spending the money.

    Why on earth would there be an I-212 waiver here. She's legally present and hasn't been deported.or otherwise forced to leave the US.
