No, but I think people think it's automatic and instantaneous that you give citizenship to someone when you marry them. All you get or can get for a foreigner is the ability to apply for permanent resident status within 90 days of marriage. Then they have to wait 3 years or so to get naturalized. It's a 3+ year commitment and they do treat this process seriously. Kind of funny since recent reports show over 10 million illegal immigrants are working and living in this country. So I guess the question is why bother getting citizenship?
