Postpone USA green card processing

My parents, who are green card holders themselves, have applied for a green card for me in 2005, and I received the Choice of Agent and Address letter from the US embassy almost 6 months back.

In the meanwhile, I got married and my passport has been changed to reflect the same.
Both I and my husband are currently employed in India and ours is a joint family with my husband’s parents. They are dependent on us for financial and familial support since they are not in a position to look after themselves independently. They also have a history of medical conditions which include hypertension etc. We also have a son who is due to start his schooling soon.

Due to these obligations, I can not think of immigrating for at least next 4-5 years. However, I don't want to give up the option completely.

Is there any provision of deferment / postponement of green card at this stage?
 
You already voided your existing application by getting married before your parent became a US citizen.

So you can't immigrate for several years anyway. One parent would have to become a US citizen and file a new petition for you.
 
Hey Jackolantern,

Thank you very much!!!

Cant the sponsorship be converted to that for my entire family (Husband + kid)??

Secondly, although my parents are only green card holders, the petition is co-sponsored by my mother's brother who has been a citizen for the last 10 years. Does that have any effect?
