I have been married since Nov 2004 and we are still going through red tape and more red tape. Many people have this idea that you get married, and everything is automatic. IT'S NOT. It takes LOTS of time (hours filling out paperwork, weeks/months/years waiting for it to be processed), LOTS of money (Your first petition to determine if you are even eligible to apply costs $200, your second round of paperwork costs $2000, plus the $ for fingerprinting and medical exam AND the forms are EXTREMELY complicated, so many people have to have legal help to do those and that's major $$ also), and LOTS of patience. We're working on getting him a Social Security number right now so that he can get a driver's license.
