Are you eligible for a marriage-based green card within the US? What is your marital status—engaged or married?

Marital Status Matters: Discover your eligibility for a marriage-based green card from within the US—engaged or marriedWhat is your Marital Status? Are you engaged or married? 

If you’re trying to figure out if you’re eligible to get a green card based on your marriage to a US citizen or lawful permanent resident, let’s start with an easy question: Are you married or engaged? If you’re not yet married, you cannot file for a marriage-based green card from within the US. There is a route for fiancé/fiancées of US citizens if the fiancée is outside the US; but there is no path for a fiancée to get the green card from within the US unless the fiancée entered the US with the special fiancée visa (K-visa).
