I am a US Citizen. My wife, from the Philippines has been in the USA on a E35 Visa since 04/26/2003. Her Visa will expire on 05/06/2013. We met in December 2009. Her mother, a US Citizen and father, E34 live here in the USA. We got married at town hall two weeks ago. My wife would like to become a citizen of the USA. What should we do next? I am lost here. Thank you for your help!

You two will have to apply for Adjustment of Status (AOS) via forms I-130, I-485, and I-765. The cost is currently $1,070.00, plus whatever the Civil Surgeon will charge her.

After the AOS has been approved, she will get a "conditional" 2-year Green Card.

Before that card expires, you'll file for Adjustment of Status via form I-751, which costs $595.00.

If you two are still happily married by early 2014, she can file for naturalization via form N-400, which costs $770.00. Otherwise she'll have to wait until 2016.

(Disclaimer: I'm not 100% sure about the exact amounts as all costs have just gone up on Nov.23.)

Have fun!

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Bob is right except he forgot the fee for the I-130 which is $420 now. So the costs right now are $420 + $1070 plus the fee for medical exam. Here is the guide for reference.

Why would she have to wait until 2016? I don't know much about naturalization. Thanks! :)
