The purpose of this study is to understand what type of life married immigrant women experience while living in korea, how they maintain their marriage life, and what type of lives they have lived up to the present. To achieve such objectives, in-depth interviews were conducted for 7 married immigrant women aged 24 to 32 who have married Korean men for at least over 3 years and unde 10 years. Date analysis was conducted based on the theoretical methods as proposed by Strauss & Corbin(1998). The research question for this study was ‘what is the process of life for married immigrant women?’ The results of data analysis conducted according to the applied theoretical method showed that 116 concepts, 36 low ranges and 15 ranges were exposed within open coding. Results of range analysis according to the paradigm showed that the causal conditions of the process of life for married immigrant women were ‘forced into marriage’, ‘cower’, ‘nowhere to stand’, while the core phenomenon was ‘to mediate and stand’. The contextual condition responding to such phenomenon were ‘responsibility towards children’, ‘recognition of social prejudice’ while applicable/interactive strategies to control such phenomenon were ‘work hard to live’, ‘get closer’ and ‘be active’. Mediating conditions which promote and restrain such applicable/interactive strategies were ‘develop the strength to live’, ‘serve as support for family’, ‘assisted by regional society’. Results were shown to be ‘recovery of self-esteem’, ‘growth through pain’, ‘accept my condition’. The process of the lives of married immigrant women were shown to be in 4 stages of ‘desire and frustration stage’, ‘resolution stage’, ‘transformation state’, and ‘growth stage’.
