As a recent New York Times article shows, paying attention to the specific immigration laws is important  and becoming more important everyday.  In the article a U.S. citizen whose husband was detained by ICE states:

“We tried to do everything right, We made a mistake, but if two Ph.D. students can’t figure it out, it shows the paperwork is really confusing.”

If you are thinking of getting married, or have recently been married, and want to obtain a green card – please do yourself a favor and consult with an immigration lawyer.
