Green Card Marriage Validity

Summary

Green cards obtained through marriage remain valid even if the Supreme Court overturns gay marriage. Immigration laws do not retroactively revoke green cards. To apply for a permanent green card, file Form I-751 within 90 days before your temporary card expires, provide evidence of a bona fide marriage, and attend necessary appointments. Consult an immigration attorney for personalized advice.
