Are you getting married abroad or in the United States? If you are trying to get a woman into the United States and marry her then you need to get her a VISA or a passport so she can visit the country. Then you can marry her. If she is already here in the US then you can marry her and go to the INS to get her citizenship (I would talk with you local INS office first though). If a married couple remains married for at least 6 months than the alien member of that couple is eligible to be a US citizen, or at least that was how it used to be, again visit your local INS office to be sure.
Go to the INS website: http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/citizenship/welcomeguide/index.htm
Here is a guide for new citizens. It is available in several languages so both you and your spouse to be can read it.
If you want to bring your bride into the US then go to this page: http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-129f.htm
You need to file I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiance(e) with a filing fee of $170
That will get you started and the INS can help you after that point. (Go to the bottom of the page to download the form).
You will need to visit the center for your state to continue this process. Find your state office(s) at: http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/fieldoffices/service_centers/index.htm
If you are the immediate relative (spouse, parent or unmarried child under 21 years old) of a U.S. citizen, submit the following forms:
Go to this page: http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-485.htm#filing
- I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status
- G-325A, Biographic Information
- Your original I-130, Petition for Alien Relative (if you are filing concurrently), or a copy of your I-797, Notice of Action (if the petition was already approved).
- I-864, Affidavit of Support
- I-693, Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status
All required supporting documentation as listed on the above forms.
You may download a package of all of these forms in PDF format (41 pages, 1.89 MB). At: http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/files/i-485pk1.pd
I would check with your local office before wading through all these forms.
You may also submit the following forms:
- G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Representative (if you have a lawyer)
- I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, if you want to work while your application is processed
- I-131, Application for Travel Document, if you need to travel outside the United States while your application is processed
- I-485 Supplement A, and penalty fee if applicable. See 8 CFR 245.10
- I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Excludability, if applicable
Good Luck
