    Marrying US LPR- Advice needed please..

    in Bringing Family Members of Permanent Residents to America

    Posted

    thankyou. However im not sure if i am able to visit once i leave- as come september, i will have stayed for 6 months of this year. I have been told that the B2 visa only allows me to stay in the USA for a maximum of 6 months out of any calender year. That would mean that i would have to wait a minimum of 6 months before visiting.

    We are considering seeing a lawyer to help us with the options.

    in Bringing Family Members of Permanent Residents to America

    My boyfriend and i need advice on our best option to remain together.

    We have been visiting each other for 10 months on various visas.

    i am from Australia. I am currently here on a B2 visa, expiring in September 2010.

    My boyfriend has been a LPR of USA for 21 years and is currently in the process of having his citizenship approved.

    We have been looking at visa options for us to remain together. We understand that a fiance visa is not an option for LPR's.

    We want to get married so we can remain together in the USA, however time is an issue as my visa runs out in September. My question for this option is:

    About how long does the CR visa (family second preference) process take from filing of petition, to approval? I understand there is a limited number that are approved per year.

    We are looking at the best option that will mean we dont have to be apart for a long amount of time. Our other option is for my boyfriend to move to Australia with me. I understand that this would possibly mean that he would be jepordising his chance of citizenship as it is still in process. That would mean that he would also jepordise his Green Card after one year of living in australia. My question for this option is:

    Does anyone know how long the citizenship process might take? (he applied in may)

    Does anyone know the process of maintaining a Green Card while living abroad? I breifly read that it entails re entering the country every year and providing proof that you still have residence in the US.

    The second option is looking more viable to us, however we dont want to jepordise his citizenship if we leave before it is approved.

    Any advice would be appreciated.
