You have to prove that you are both really want to be married and are not doing this for an immigrant benefit. After the 90 days, your new spouse has the opportunity to apply for a green card.

PERM Applications

The first step required for the green card process for foreign nationals seeking permanent residence through their employment is for them to obtain an approved PERM Labor Certification. The employer of this foreign worker must prove through newspaper or online advertising and other recruiting methods that they were unsuccessful in recruiting a qualified U.S. candidate for a certain position in their company. Also, the employer must be prepared to hire this foreign worker on a full-time and permanent basis. This will demonstrate to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services that are able to fully handle this responsibility and that it is not a scam.
