Hi folks,
I am on H1B visa, residing in california. My H1 is valid till Oct 2008.
My fiancee is in india who is a registered nurse. we are planning to get married by June this year.
Her GC process has been started by her employer in india by filing I9089 by Dec 2006 . We were told it will take 8 to 12 months to get her GC through premium processing.

Question:
1. Can I process H4 for her and get her to US while her GC process is active
2. In which stage my name should be included as spouse.

Please let me know
Thanks

She can only come to US on H4. Here is why

1) Nurses are also facing retrogression. All nurse visa numbers are over and unless Cong gives them new visa numbers she is stuck.
2) Nurses dont qualify for H1 visa. Only Advanced nursing degress like Nurse Practitioners do.
