us citizenship indian passport

Short answer

To obtain U.S. citizenship through a CR-1/IR-1 Spouse Visa, an Indian passport holder must first apply for the visa, requiring documents like marriage certificates and proof of U.S. spouse's citizenship. Fees vary, typically around $1,200. Processing can take 10-14 months. After obtaining the visa and residing in the U.S. for three years (CR-1) or five years (IR-1), you can apply for citizenship. Always verify current rules on official government or embassy sites as requirements change.
