Hello folks, I am an Indian national. I have already applied for green card and my priority date is December 2021 under EB2. My girlfriend is Chinese, and she’s planning to apply for green card around 2024. Sometime down the line we are planning to get married. After the marriage, would our priority date be the 2021 one because we are married or would it be separate? Also, what is a realistic current wait time for people born in China to get a green card? Thanks
You can apply for your spouse’s GC so she can use your PD 2021. But if you are in the EB-2 or EB-3 category the wait for Indians is longer.
Doesn’t EB2 require a company backing?
Yes these are employer sponsored categories

lol wut
But she’ll be my dependent, doesn’t that change anything?
If you get divorced, you're in bigger trouble
Why so?
That's only in marriage based GC, not employment based
Wait for her to get GC and then citizenship. Then you get your GC.
No need to wait
Look up cross chargeability. You can claim your spouse’s country of birth for your PD.
Can I use cross-chargeability only during the I-140 phase or can I use it in her I-458 phase? I'm applying for EB2 but my chinese spouse will get hers current much faster than me (hope ~5-10 years), so can I apply for I-458 using her date in the future?
Dump her and marry ROW which is more likely to be current
Marry US citizen. GC within a year
Dude, seriously, I know your comment is in jest, but are you ready to marry someone you don’t love? Just for the sake of GC?
right. you expect us to believe a chinese "girlfriend" can't do research on her own. Chinese have tons of resources when it comes to this kind of stuff. if you want to know how long is the wait time for chinese citizens, just ask or look at GC priority date board which is public
My dude, chill with the judgement. I see how single af you are when you come at me with those quotes on girlfriend word. I did check the GC priority date board, says that the current processing priority date is 2019, but the actual processing might take time. So thought of putting a post to see what people think.

White male privilege is real
5-6 years for China, 150+ years for India. You decide next
Although I’ve seen this get mentioned many times, what does this actually mean? From what I understand is that this means Indians would get green card after 150 years of wait time? But if so then what does applying for I-140 achieve just your standing in that queue? And if that so then would most of the Indians stay on just that for their lifespan? Sorry for bombarding with questions!
Hey buddy. There is an invention which will give you all the answers. It’s called Google. I am sure you haven’t heard of it looking at the dumb questions you ask. Go check it out. Your IQ might also improve.
