When should my husband sponsor me?

Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
The asylum roll-back is already reflected on your husband's green card (this is why it states "Resident since 2010" while, in fact, he received his LPR status in 2011), and he will not be eligible for naturalization until 2015. If he files a petition for you now, you will become eligible for an immigrant visa in about 2 years. It appears that, either way, you cannot get a green card before 2015. I would not, however, recommend to postpone filing the petition until your husband becomes a U.S. citizen: processing of an immigrant petition by the USCIS and by the National Visa Center of the Department of State takes well over a year; so it should be started as soon as possible. If your husband becomes a citizen before your priority date is reached, he can notify about it the agency that will be handling the case at the time, and have the case upgraded.

I do not see why they can get married in the U.S. Whether or not it will be recognized by their respective embassies and countries will depend on the laws of their respective countries.
