I130 question

My parents filled my I130 application ( Permanent resident filing for an unmarried son/daughter over 21) about 3 years ago. I haven't recieved a final word yet.

I am getting married in June(in India). Both of us are on H1-B visas here in US.
From my research it looks like if I file for him right now the whole application will pretty much slow down for several years.

Is there any chance that we can remain on seperate status(h1-b's) until I get a final word for my green card and then file for him to get a greencard (so that my processing is not slowed down?).
 
once you marry your parents' petition will be null, since PRs can't apply for their married children.

What do you mean:

you apply for his what?
 
I meant applying for his greencard once I get mine.
Does my parents petition get nullified like that? They filed 3 years ago...when I was single. So basically no change is allowed in the status no matter how long it takes for you to get the gc?
 
Hmm...

Unfortunately, YES. Marriage is a bad thing while your petition is still pending.... :confused:

You might as well win the lottery and be done with the greencard process, but if you get married.... it is good bye to that petition... :rolleyes:
