    If you enter on a K-1, as we know, you have 90 days to marry. After marrying, the foreign spouse applies for an adjustment of status. The adjustment of status takes 5 or 6 months to get approved. Once approved, the foreign spouse will usually get a conditional permanent resident card that lasts 2 years (I think if the marriage is longer than 2 years, the green card isn’t conditional)

    After 2 years, you would file to get the conditional status removed. I think you can then file for citizenship, 2.9 years after the original adjustment of status was approved.

    Wait times vary and so do estimates, but from the time of marriage to citizenship should take about 5 years
