Can I go for Concurrent filing ? Please help

[basker.c@gmail.com]

Hello All,

I'm on GC for last 4.5 years getting ready to file for citizenship. My husband is on H1B visa for last 3 years. We have been married in US for more than 2 years. Can I do a concurrent filing for my citizenship along with my husband's family based GC. ?

I want to get a GC for my husband and what is the quickest route ? (become citizen and then apply )

or doing a concurrent filing is a good option. ? is the concurrent filing VISA slot available ?

If I go for concurrent filing what are all the forms do I need to submit ?

Please help me out.

Thank you.

There is no such concept of concurrent filing here.

You can sponsor your husband now, of course, but there is a quota. You could update the case once you have become a US citizen, i.e., after the oath.

Sponsorship without a quota requires you to be a citizen. Just applying for citizenship is not enough.

If you apply for you husband AFTER YOU BECOME US citizen then he will get GC in maximum 6 months. And if you apply now, as you're GC holder, then waiting time is around 5 years.

Its simple to decide, its your choice.
