Hi all,

I am an international student on F1 Visa married to a green card holder. My priority date is October 2010. I am hoping the priorit days can rush. Please share your experiences so that i have an idea of what to expect when i file for adjustment of status and go for the interviews.

Thank You.

You have a long wait. Unlike spouses of citizens, you will have to wait on a visa to become available or for your spouse to naturalize and become a citizen. When that takes place a visa number will become available immediately after he or she notifies USCIS of their change of status from permanent resident to citizen.

I think it takes about 5 years for that to take place. If your spouse has been a GC holder for at least 5 years, he or she can naturalize; this can speed up your process.

Thread has been moved from the AOS from a family based visa entrance forum to AOS from a work, student & Tourist visa entry forum as the OP is adjusting from a student visa

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
