My Wife’s eldest sister & co-brother with two kids; who living & working in UNITES STATES for more than 10+ years with US Citizenship (obtained through H1B+ Green card + Citizenship). And now I and my wife with two kids, who is currently living in INDIA, would like to apply a green card by using Family-Based Green Card (Fourth Preference) visa. In order to apply green card for my family, I do have few clarifications. If anyone having a fair knowledge or experienced in similar situations. Please help to clarify my below doubts.
That would be really great for me to proceed on further checks with my co-brother to initiate my green card process. Thanks a ton in advance.
a) Since im working in an IT company. I MAY get a B1 / L1/ H1B during Family-Based Green Card (Fourth Preference) process. Will that be a show stopper for my Green Card? Or B1 / L1/ H1B visa process?
b) If yes, Can I ask my co-brother to apply a Family-Based Green Card (Fourth Preference) only for spouse & kids? By assuming that I may apply B1 / L1/ H1B visa through an company. Will that be okay?
c) Is it possible to include me at the time of my spouse approved green card petition before counseling interview at embassy?
d) Or is it a mandatory to apply a Family-Based Green Card (Fourth Preference) for my entire family?
e) If No, Do I need to apply green card separately? is it really I need to go through entire cycle of green card application process as like my spouse (i.e. ‘5- 10 yrs.’)? Even, if my spouse and kids being a green card holder? Or it takes months’ time to get a Family-Based Green Card (Fourth Preference) for me? Any idea how long?
f) Or should I go through Green Card petition for an Immediate Relative of a U.S. Citizen category?
Kindly help me above my clarifications. Thanks in Advance.
