Hi!
I just became a US citizen last year and filed a petition for my husband last Nov. 30. He is residing here in US (he overstayed) with me and he has applied for his I-485 and I-765. Those 2 cases were okay but I'm not sure about the I-130. Could anyone tell me the time frame for this type of case? Somebody told me it might take up 2 years for this case. I received a receipt of notice telling me that the application/petition has been received but I went to check online (USCIS) to find out what's going on with the case, it gave me an error message saying that my case couldn't be found (I'm sure I put the right receipt #). Now I'm really worried right now. Do I need to see a lawyer for this type of case?
Also, if it's really gonna take 2 years for my petition to be process, is there a way for my husband to get some kind of pass so he could fly outside US? We want to visit our family in Asia for just a few weeks and I don't know if he will be able to come with me (I really hope so).
Please if anyone could answer my questions, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you.
Rose
