NEED URGENT SUGGESTIONS: Filing I-130 for husband in India
All the experts out there.......
Hello
, I need suggestion and advise.....over my case.
Here's my case: My wife is currently Permenant Resident and completed 4 years. She will become eligible to apply for citizenship around Dec 2009.
I am currently in India (I was in USA on H1 visa but recenlty (in April 2009)due to bad recession my employer revoked my H1 and so I returned back to my home country India). Now Waiting for my wife to become citizen so that she can file I-130 on my behalf.
NOW let's say today, if my wife files petition I-130 on my behalf based on her Permenant Residency. If a petitioner is PR than there's a wait of 4-5 years for visa no. to become available. My question is : Although the VISA number is not available in this category so the petition will be set aside until visa no. becomes available BUT Do they APPROVE I-130 petition OR not?
I am asking this because next year when my wife becomes citizen we will inform USCIS regarding the update of my wife's citizenship and than my case process starts off from the approval of I-130 so basically I will save time in the processing of I-130 as compare to when my wife files petition for I-130 when she becomes citizen. Can I really save time here in whole cosular processing after my wife becomes citizen, since we are not starting from Scratch....we already have I-130 filed and approved...so would it be helpful in the terms of saving time for I-130 processing ?
Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated.
