Hey aneel , I am new here so can u pls explain that r u citizen of usa or green card holder bcoz it's so fast reply ,, thanks in advance if u know the difference pls let me know

Hi Bob,

If you're a USC, then you can petition for your spouse on the IR1/CR1, but if you're an LPR (green card holder), you can apply only for the family visa for your spouse. The IR1/CR1 takes about 10 months to a year, whereas the family visa will take three years at least.
