Can I apply for a green card if my spouse is a green card holder and not a U.S. Citizen?

Yes, you can apply for a green card if your spouse is a green card holder (lawful permanent resident) rather than a U.S. citizen, but there are a few differences compared to applying through a U.S. citizen spouse. One of the main differences is the timeline; spouses of green card holders may need to wait longer for an available visa number, which can add months or even years to the process. Additionally, while your application is pending, maintaining your current legal status is crucial, as overstaying your visa could complicate or even jeopardize your ability to get a green card. However, once a visa number becomes available, the rest of the process is similar, and you can apply for either Adjustment of Status (if you’re in the U.S.) or go through consular processing abroad.
