What Is AOS?

AOS lets legally present foreign spouses (e.g., on B-2 or F-1 visas) apply for a green card after marrying a U.S. citizen, proving a genuine marriage. With 2025 processing stretching 8-14 months, intent and travel issues loom large, our caring approach and videos guide you seamlessly.

Navigating Intent Challenges

Section 214(b) assumes nonimmigrant intent; marriages within 30-90 days of entry risk misrepresentation flags by CBP. Our intent-focused tutorials help maintain transparency, safeguarding your AOS from 2025’s fraud scrutiny.

Why U.S. Marriages Thrive

With 15% of 2023 U.S. marriages international (e.g., Mexico, India), AOS supports couples uniting here. Amid 2025’s complexities, our dedicated team ensures a smooth green card path.
