How much time is it for getting my spouse a green card?

Jennifer Maude Oltarsh
Answered by attorney Jennifer Maude Oltarsh
Immigration lawyer at Oltarsh & Associates, P.C.
The wait time is about 2 years. If she has another manner to come in, such as through a professional position, she could get a work-related visa.

What is the possible fastest way I can bring my daughter in the US?

Lynne Rogers Feldman
Answered by attorney Lynne Rogers Feldman
Immigration lawyer at Feldman Feldman Associates, PC
Fastest way may be some type of nonimmigrant visa. I would be happy to consult with you on the various options once I know your daughter's educational and work experience background and of what country she is a citizen. You can petition for her to obtain a green card but she will be subject to the quota system as a preference applicant. Her category is FB-1 (unmarried child of a USC over 21) There are three stages to the case - 1) I-130 filed with USCIS office; 2) approved I-130 is sent to national Visa Center which collects money and forms for the Department of State consular offices. 3) Case is shipped for interview and medical Right now there are only visas for cases which were on file prior to January 1, 2005 (or other date depending on her country of birth) so even if step 1 is approved and the case is shipped to NVC it will be held there until your Priority Date is current. Priority Date is established by the date the I-130 is received by USCIS. Until there is a visa nothing will move forward on her case. You should file for citizenship at your soonest opportunity as then her case would be upgraded to immediate relative. If we can assist in the processing of her case, please contact me as indicated below for fees, procedures, and timing.

My green card is expiring in 3 months can i apply for citizenship or do i have to renew my green card first?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Under U.S.C.I.S.'s present rules, you should renew your green card prior to applying for citizenship if your green card will expire within six months. As you only have three months, you should renew as the law requires you to have a valid green card. I note though that I have not heard of the rule being enforced to deny anyone citizenship, but the above is the agency's official stance.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
