austin, texas. >> we met in kenya in 2007. we got married at manhattan city>> february. >> february. 2011. and then right after getting married, like within two weeks from that we filed our green card -- or my green card application. >> emma must have spent three hours a night every single night for probably 200 or 300 days in a row studying the process. she's probably put a thousand hours into learning about this. >> the first part of our process was called -- it's called adjustment of status. the filing fee is $420, and for the other part of it it's $1,070, which includes so-called biometrics. those filing fees for that first part were about $1,500. now we're doing a process called removal of conditions, and that filing fee i think was $590. so i think if you put everything together you're talking somewhere between $3,000 and $4,000. so i have a green card. which was issued in july 2011. before the two-year green card expires you have to do what's called removal of conditions. and it basically means that we are now proving, again, that we are really married
