I am Indonesian. I got my Permanent Resident since June 2006. I'm planning to get married next year with my girlfriend who lives in Indonesia.
The questions are:
- What is the best and fastest way to bring her to live and work in US legally? Using F-1 or H-1?
- I know I can apply petition for her using form I-130. Should I file I-485 together with the I-130?
- How long will she wait for I-130 to be approved?
- Can she come and live in US while she waits for the approval?
- Does V-1 visa still exist?
- Assuming I'm gonna be a US citizen in 2011, will the visa number available for her right away after I become citizen? How long will it take for her to get her Permanent Residency?
Notes: she graduated from Oklahoma State Univ. 3 years ago. She had to go home because her OPT was expired.
Please give some input/ideas how I should bring her to US legally while I'm waiting for another 3 years to apply my citizenship.
Thank you for your response
