Hello Evryone! Im new to the site, but i have the same dilemma. I am a green card holder for 4 yrs now and next year Im going to file my naturalization so I can petition my husband. Will it be faster if I file for him now as a spouse of a permanent resident then just upgrade it or wait till next year july 2011 after i became a citizen? I hope those who have experience with this kind of things will enlighten me. We just got married last Dec2009 and were expecting a baby this year that's why Im pretty much wanting him to come in here as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance;)

So this is our case : My husband filed I-130 as a Permanent Residence for me last June 2008, we received NOA for it that they received our documents and the receipt notice..(CA processing center). My husband will soon take his oath to be US citizen this Feb. 26, we will then UPGRADE my papers as soon as he gets his Certificate of Naturalization, my question is: Does this process will then be more faster? and does those times we applied for I-130 last year is counted for it to be approve? how long does it takes? any ideas is very much appreciated, and anybody here has the same situation with us? thanks a lot and more goodluck!

Does DCF rules indicates that you should be PRESENTLY living in your spouse country of residence for 6 mos? Or will it be ok if i was born there and lived there for 26 yrs.Enlighten me please..thanks
