Immigration lawyer at Curley Immigration Law, PC LLO
As you probably know, when you got married, the first application that your father filed for you was automatically revoked.  There are no permanent visa categories for married children of residents.  When your father naturalized and filed a new application for you, it was in the category for married children of citizens.  The only way for you to retain your earlier priority date is if the same petitioner (your father) filed an application for the same beneficiary (you) in the same visa category.  Since your current application was filed in a different visa category, you cannot retain your old priority date.   Please contact an experienced local attorney for more information.

If the counterfeiting charges resulted in a sentence of one or more years for counterfeiting, such would be regarded as an aggravated felony. Generally speaking, there is not too much relief available in those circumstances except if an individual is eligible to adjust status to permanent residence and file a concurrent application for waiver; be a dependent of an individual who has just won political asylum; or be able to prove the probability of persecution in the home country under the Convention against Torture.

Can I apply for a different visa if I am waiting for another visa?

Immigration lawyer at Reza Athari & Associates, PLLC
Yes, you will have to start the I-130 process. Your brother or sister may be co-sponsor. You may stay outside US but the US consulate will want you to come and resume your residency in the US a few months before her interview. I suggest that you hire an immigration attorney to navigate you through the process.
