Hi this is Ronald Mccowan . I am USA and married Filipino in Philippines . Live in Philippines . I want to know if we move to Hawaii . Wife want work in Hawaii . Can she get green card? Thank Ronald .
Greetings Ronald,
The answer to your question is yes. As long as she enters the US/Hawaii legally (for example, on a tourist visa), and you can meet the financial plus a few other requirements for a green card, then once you are both in Hawaii you can file the forms “I-130 Petition for Alien Relative,” and “I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status.” You can find the details about this process here: https://openbordersimmigration.wordpress.com/immigrating/united-states-immigration-uscis/green-card-through-marriage/
If you want to file the paperwork while you are still in the Philippines you can file Form I-130 and wait until that is approved before you come to the USA/Hawaii.
You can find this same information from the government’s website: https://www.uscis.gov/family/family-us-citizens/spouse/bringing-spouses-live-united-states-permanent-residents
Good luck and have a good time in Hawaii
