adiludm@gmail.com Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Hi All I am on H1B second term valid till April 2016. My Fiance is on GC and will be applying for citizenship next year. What are my options for applying GC. 1. Should I wait till she gets citizenship and then apply for GC. Or should I apply immediately. 2. If I apply immediately how long does it take? 3. How is my work status effected by this. ? 4. What measures should be taken if I don't want to go out of status. Thanks Adil Link to comment
omshiv Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 You are almost current..get an Attorney involved to apply FB2 in your case. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Keep a eye on the visa bulletin. F2A has a PD of mid September. Once the date is current then file your I-130 and EAD and AP in one go in the month relevant to the bulletin. If your H1 status is fine then no hurry. Even otherwise once she is a Citizen you are fine . If the process is hazy have a Lawyer do it though strictly not necessary. Link to comment

adiludm@gmail.com Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 If I understand this correctly she can apply for my I-130 immediately and need not wait till she gets citizenship. Link to comment
