I am about to submit the paper work to bring over my husband. I have my two year green card and we were married on Feb 11 2007. I know that in about four years I can apply for USC, but do you think my husband could be given permission to come to USA before that? I have been in the USA for three years, but there was a delay in getting my CPR because ICE thought at first I needed to be under the age of 18 when applying for AOS. I applied for AOS at the age of 19 and they fought it for a long time all most to my 21 birthday. As a note to a happy ending they did stand up in court and say " sorry we were wrong. we well give her the green card." I think that the clock starts for USC once the AOS goes through not from the time you apply for the AOS is that Right?

The date for Citizenship runs from the date you became a resident, it is on your card.

You can file now, and upgrade your petition when you obtain Citizenship.

My guess is that a visa number will be available about that time anyway.

Can he seek entry beforehand, yes, but not as your spouse. Student or Work seem the obvious ones.

if you would submit 1-130 for husband now you would have to wait for visa availabilty 5-6 yrs.

if you would wait for citizenship that would be 4 yrs and 9 mos. from the day u got ur GC.

you could file I-130 now and upgrade it later when u qualify for citizenship.
