Fiance green card holder

[Bhar2016]

Hi

I am an Indian on h1b extension and have my I140 approved with Jan 2014 priority date.

My fiancée is a green card holder living here for 15 yrs and holds Pakistani passport.

My questions are, Once we get married:

1. do I need to change to family based visa myself?

2.  or should I let my company know so that they can process as employment bases per the spouse' nationality

2. What is the priority for Pakistan though I understand countries other than China, India, ?phillipines and Mexico have better dates?

3. Are there any issues with Pakistani passport holders for GC processing?

Pls may suggest.

I live in Houston.

regards

You can, but don't have to change to a family-based GC process. It may be faster, though.

You can't use cross-chargeability for your employment-based application, because your future spouse already has a GC.

Thanks for your prompt reply.

What if she gets US citizenship which we are expecting in Jan 2017? Can I use the cross chargeability then?

There is no quota for spouses of US citizens, so cross-chargeability wouldn't even matter then.
