hi everyone,

i m new at VJ.. i have some questions.
1)what are the advanteges of being spouse of US citizen over Spouse of LPR.
2)In both cases u can file for CR1 ... which CR1 will process faster?

thanks ..

You can count the timeline for CR1 spouse of USC in months instead of years.

Thanks Sir 4 da reply...
but ma question is still not cleared ... is dere any difference b/w CR1 filled by US citizen and CR1 filled by LPR..will US citizen advantage will make some difference.

Pushbrk is saying that for a USC, gaining an immigrant visa for their spouse generally takes a year or less. For an LPR, it can take several years. So yes, there is a HUGE advantage to filing the I-130 as a USC rather than an LPR. However, an LPR could file and then notify USCIS if they became a citizen, which would cause the petition to then move faster.

hi

Above friends have said it perfect....the thing you will save when the peititioner is US CITIZEN is TIME....
