K2 Resident getting married

[Shaun A 0]

I was reading the I-130 form today and it said that since there is no visa for married children of permanent residents, unmarried children of permanent residents who marry prior to becoming a US citizen will have any petitions automatically revoked.

I'm a permanent resident who came on a K-2 and successfully completed the adjustment of status form, i'm now awaiting removal of conditions of residence. My long-time friend and I want to get married, and I want to bring her to live with me in Florida. Does anyone know if my status would be hurt by a married to a non-citizen? I'm figuring the easiest way bring her here is to file a I-130 (after marriage) then adjustment of status. Anyone know an easier way that would allow her to be in the US quicker?

Thanks for your help!

Your marriage won't impact your eligibility to remove conditions but the timelines are quite long for visas when the petitioner is not a US Citizen. Getting him here as spouse of an LPR is going to take years.

Children of K1 or K2 visa holders who marry before receiving their K2 or K4 visas, no longer qualify for a visa. Your K2 visa lost all meaning when you completed your status adjustment. You're a permanent resident not a K2 applicant. You're all through with being the beneficiary of a visa petition.

Takes about 5 years for LPR to get spouse here. Probably faster to wait to get USC and then apply.
