Q: As a Cuban green card holder are you able to give residency + working permit to someone else by marriage ?
A: The precise answer to your question requires more information. Did the Cuban green card holder get his/her permanent residency through the Cuban Adjustment Act. If so, and depending on a number of other factors, including whether the other spouse has been previously inspected and admitted or paroled, then the other spouse may be able to get permanent residency through the Cuban Adjustment Act as well, whether or not that spouse is also Cuban. However, if the Cuban green card holder did not get his/her permanent residency through the Cuban Adjustment Act, then a "normal" marriage-based immigration case may be in order. Whether adjustment of status or immigrant visa consular processing is in order in that type of case depends on a number of factors. For a definitive answer, you really need to schedule a consultation with a competent immigration attorney who can ask many questions to get the answers that will lead him or her to the best possible legal opinion. Some offices provide telephone or online (Skype) consultations for prospective clients who do not live near that attorney's office.
