Hi,

If you are a U.S. citizen, all sponsorship paperwork can be filed concurrently upon marriage, and your husband can then continue to reside in the U.S.

Departure from the U.S. is not required. Additional information is here: www.h1b1.com/Uscitizen.htm

You can call our law firm at 212-268-3580 during business hours, or email info@h1b1.com for guidance.

As you have read in the other attorneys' responses, if you are a U.S. Citizen and your future husband entered the country with a visa, he is eligible to adjust his status while remaining in the United States. "Adjust status" is a fancy term for applying for a green card while staying in the United States. Before filing an application on his behalf, you both should consult with an immigration attorney to ensure there are no grounds of inadmissibility that would prevent him from obtaining a green card or cause him to be put into deportation proceedings. Please feel free to contact me to discuss this matter further.
