Common questions about Immigration in Arizona
Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network
How does marriage to a U.S. citizen affect my immigration status?
U.S. citizens can sponsor a spouse for lawful permanent residence (a green card) by filing Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative). If the immigrant spouse is in the U.S. lawfully, they may file Form I-485 (Adjustment of Status) concurrently; if they are abroad or ineligible to adjust, the case proceeds via consular processing at a U.S. embassy. Marriages less than 2 years old result in a 2-year conditional green card requiring later removal of conditions via Form I-751.
Does Arizona have its own immigration laws?
Immigration is almost entirely federal under Article I § 8 of the U.S. Constitution and the Immigration and Nationality Act. Arizona's SB 1070 (2010) attempted state-level immigration enforcement, but most provisions were struck down in Arizona v. United States, 567 U.S. 387 (2012). State law still affects immigrants indirectly through criminal cases that can trigger federal consequences.
What's the difference between a visa and a green card?
A visa is travel authorization issued by the Department of State permitting entry to the U.S. for a specific purpose (tourism, work, study, family). A green card (Form I-551) is evidence of lawful permanent residence issued by USCIS, allowing indefinite stay and work. Visas are usually temporary and tied to status; green cards reflect permanent immigration status.
