I have DACA and entered illegally; can I get a Green Card through marriage?
Short answer: There is not always a fixed minimum marriage length, but immigration will review whether the marriage is real and documented.
CIS Law Office helps clients review immigration questions with attention to facts, documents, deadlines, and practical risk. A responsible answer should not promise an outcome, because immigration cases depend on evidence, immigration history, government discretion, and sometimes immigration court procedure.
During a consultation, the attorney can review the main question, explain what information is missing, and help organize the next steps. For this topic, it is usually useful to prepare:
- Confirm the immigration category that allows an EAD.
- Review expiration dates and receipt notices.
- Do not travel without reviewing immigration risks.
This information is general and is not a substitute for legal advice. If you have a deadline, appointment, detention issue, denial, interview, or court date, it is better to get guidance before filing forms or making a decision that may affect your case.
