- dboreham 6y agoI'm not the expert (although I did marry a US citizen...) but I understand the answer is "pretty much immediately", but there are likely to be some paperwork delays in terms of having the necessary proof of residency in order to convince an employer you are legal. Here is a page with detailed info: https://www.uscis.gov/family/family-of-us-citizens/visas-for-fiancees-of-us-citizens https://www.uscis.gov/family/family-of-us-citizens/visas-for... And of course: if you plan on doing this please get yourself an immigration attorney. My pro tip is to avoid the busy areas in the US for immigration (Bay Area, LA, NYC...). I did my green card process in Montana with a local lawyer after a few years under the yoke of the San Jose INS office using SF-based attorneys. Night and day experience.
