Are tech workers as rich as they think we are?
I have a green card. I've had it for over 5 years so I could go through the process to become a citizen. My spouse is on a work visa. 1. I become a US citizen first then sponsor her GC. * How long will it take for me to be come a citizen? * How long will it take for her to get her GC? 2. Sponsor wife's GC right away and become citizen later. * How long will it take for her to get her GC?
Some trick that not a lot of people know: don’t get married yet, and do engagement instead. Citizens can sponsor fiance with 1-2 year to get GC.
Sponsor her before you become a citizen, unless your wife is currently out of status. When you are a citizen and you sponsor, your spouse is forgiven if she is in the US on an expired visa (as long as she came in legally). But if you are a green card holder, your wife's application would be denied if they are in this situation. That's mainly the only reason to wait until you get your citizenship. If it doesn't apply to you, don't wait. The timeline for your wife getting GC approval is the same whether you are a citizen or a gc holder (of course there's some individual randomness in the timelines, but there's no data indicating applications with citizen sponsors are prioritized over applications with GC sponsors). If your wife gets her GC and you are still not a citizen, she will have to wait for min(5, 3+x) years to apply for citizenship, where x is the duration in years for how long it takes you to get your citizenship from the time your wife gets her GC. So, obviously, waiting to sponsor her will not make this timeline any shorter. For your other question, no way to tell, it depends on individual cases and uscis randomness, but i think with elections coming up things will occur faster. For reference, i applied 2 months ago, and my interview is next month
Ask any Indian in your team. They know everything about green cards
Sponsor her before the elections.
Once she got her gc, pretty sure she finds a better guy
You can sponser her on green card and still go for citizenship during it
