Advice please?

Hello,

My wife is the petitioner, I the beneficary.

We are currently at the NVC stage, however, as she is not a US citizen yet we are stuck there until she naturalises - she has had her biometrics, we are hoping all will be done around christmas time.

Her mother has taken very ill, which has meant she has had to stop working, so there is no income - the wife is now working, and I am sending money over - but it is leaving us in a pretty bad financial situation, the euro isn't as good to the dollar as it was.

I am debating whether to, upon naturalisation, get her to apply for an expedite - or will that speed things up ?

We haven't send in police certs or paid AOS or anything yet, so I am guessing it will be at least three months after she naturalises before I would get my greencard?

Any advice?

Tim

That is extremely unlikely to get you an expedite, as you moving over is not guaranteed to give you a job over there immediately, so you guys may be worse off than before. That being said, the Dublin embassy is relatively flexible, so be as prepared as you can be, and then when your paperwork is there, call them and ask for any cancellation appointments, and you may be lucky and get one quick.

How will she fulfill the affadavit of support if not working btw?

I've got a few contacts over there, so should be able to walk into a job over there, nothing major, but at least 40k a year, which isn't bad to walk into.

AoS is covered by her aunt.

Dublin is flexible you say? might give them an email or call when it gets to them.

Cheers.

You have o realized you haven't even got started at NVC so until she naturalizes you will sit your PD is just April of this year and they are on Feb 2013 They usually open up for people in 8 to 12 months away.

So once she gets her citizenship and pgrades thats a few weeks to months than they will start processing you at NVC. Right now its about 4 months but maybe by the time she upgrades it will speed up.

Maybe with the new bulletin that will be published in about a week or so maybe they will start processing April 2014 than at least you can get that done with.
