Green Card through Marriage Applications are excluded from all numerical quota limitations:
Each year over 450,000 thousand United States citizens marry foreign-born individuals and petition for them to obtain permanent residency status, or a Green Card, in the United States. Spouses of U.S. citizens are considered “immediate relatives” under immigration laws; therefore they are excluded from all numerical quota limitations. This means that there are an unlimited number of Green Cards available to foreign nationals who marry U.S. citizens.
