We applied two months after the wedding – it took a while to get the paperwork together – and she received the card about three months later! Now we just have to apply for one without the marriage restriction after two years.<br /><br />Good luck on getting everything worked out!Secular Planethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07300070039134344289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26421185.post-28695677281710527322009-11-07T20:24:04.598-05:002009-11-07T20:24:04.598-05:00Good point about religions requiring civil certification. That shuts down the entire argument about marriage being a religious institution.<br /><br />BTW, I also married a non-US-citizen. I hope your visa journey was short and trouble-free. Mine is still underway nearly 7 months after our wedding.BlackSunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15591731325290405256noreply@blogger.com
