If you can help with this I will be grateful. I got my Green Card in Dec 30, 2000 through work and I will qualify to apply for my citizenship on Sep. 30, 2005. My fiancé is here on a visitor visa B2 until Nov. 10th.

We are planning on getting married in August. Can I apply the I-130 for my wife the same time I apply for my N-400 application?

If I waited till next year to apply for the I-130 (after I get my citizenship) she will be out of status and might need to leave the country.

Please advise!!! :)
 
Thanks Joe for your response. By the time I get my citizenship, her visa expires in November, she will be out of status. If she stayed till next year until I get my citizenship, would the INS process her I-130 without any problems or deportation?

Thanks
 
Thanks Joe. Does anyone know of a good immigration attorney in the Sacramento Area?
 
Can I submit the N-400 application and at the same time submit the I-130 for my wife as a US applying for a spouse before I even get the N-400 aplication accepted?
