text: After marriage you will need to file for Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) to receive your Permanent Resident status.\n\nAnd yes to some extent you will be put under a microscope.  Once your AOS application is processed, they will schedule an interview for you and your spouse.  You will be required to submit evidence of a continued and genuine marriage such as financial documents in both names, utility bills in both names, shared credit cards, pictures, letters, etc.  The USC will have to submit an Affidivat of Support (Form I-864) to show that the foreign spouse will be financially supported and not become a public charge.\n\nIt's really not as daunting as it sounds.  If the marriage is genuine, its not difficult at all to prove it.
