Green card application / timeline
« on: November 13, 2023, 02:14:03 PM »
I'm British and my wife and son are dual US/UK citizens. We plan on moving to the US end of next year. How far out would you advise on me starting my Green card application?

You might want to try asking here https://britishexpats.com/forum/marriage-based-visas-35/

They have much more traffic in that direction than we do here.  :)

Are you referring to the i-130 followed by the ds-260 process?

If so, you likely won't be able to get through it all in time to move by the end of 2024.  The processing times for the i-130 alone are just about a year at the moment, plus you're talking another 3-4 months for the consular process to play out.  I guess there are people that get lucky and it happens faster for them, so maybe you'd be one of those fortunate ones...

Is there a fast track process for spouses of US citizens? If both the US citizen and spouse are living overseas do they have wait until the spouse gets the green card?

https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/  might be of some use, although it doesn't answer the original question.  :)
