Green card holder getting married to a L1 visa holder

[kirre]

Hi,

I received my green card in July 2000 and I am going to apply for my US citizenship next year. I understand that I can file my papers in January 2005 (since, it's 4.5 years from when I got my GC).

Here's my issue:
I am going to marry a L1 visa holder this year. Can someone please advise how I can sponsor him for his green card right after our marriage (i.e. even before I file my papers for citizenship)? Is it possible or do I have to wait till I get my citizenship next year to do any kind of sponsorship like that?


Thanks in advance.

YOu can file for naturalization 4 years and 9 months after your GC was approved.

hi,

thank you.

Any advise on my marriage to a L1 visa holder and my options for sponsoring him for a greencard before my citizenship comes through next year?
