Our German daughter-in-law came over to the US a year and a half ago and married our son. (They've known each other for years.) She applied for and received her right-to-work letter, followed by her green card, after satisfying many requirements and providing proof of others. It took four months. She is employed full time at a pharmacy and pays into SS. Everything was done legally through an immigration attorney. She will renew it for a certain number of times, after which she will be allowed to stay for ten years. At the end of ten years they may have some decisions to make. Apparently US doesn't offer dual citzenship, so she would have to renounce her German citizenship. We're not exactly sure that will be the case.
