Honest Q: aren't you a citizen when you marry in?
No you have to apply for a green card and there are specific requirements.
It's also extraordinarily expensive
How much are we talking about? You see on TV shows that many are eager to do it.
If you don't use a lawyer, pro se can cost between 2k and 3k for the fees. Going through the process for my mother in law currently.
Correct. Also, I read somewhere that if someone is here illegally and even if they marry a citizen they have to stay out of USA for between 3 - 10 years to be eligible for permanent residency via marriage.
