m-coon Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Hello,I read another post somewhere that indicated that my Chinese wife must become a US citizen BEFORE she is permitted to apply for a visa for her son to come and join us............ Is this true?I thought she could do this after obtaining her green card (after AOS -perminant status)???????Thanks,Scott Link to comment
Trigg Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 She can indeed do this after getting her green card but...her son will go into the lottery blah blah blah. some think it is faster to wait the three years for citisenship then apply for the son as the chid of a US citisen! Link to comment
frank1538 Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Trigg is right. As an LPR she can petition for her son, but it's subject to preference categories and priority dates. As a USC, the visa is "immediately available" - kinda like moving to the front of the line. Link to comment
m-coon Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Thanks for the information!!! I would sure love to hear from anybody who has done this process - So I can compare the results of filing it as a green card holder and also as a USC. So if anybody has done this EITHER way - please post your time frame that resulted in your filing. Thanks Again,Scott Link to comment
