How long is the waiting period to petition for a spouse for US citizenship?

Louis M. Piscopo
Answered by attorney Louis M. Piscopo
Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Louis M. Piscopo, APLC
If properly processed it takes 7-12 months from the time the petition is filed until the foreign spouse receives their immigrant visa interview. You should be receiving a decision on the I-130 petition soon. Then the file will be sent to the NVC to begin the immigration visa process.

Can immigration judge terminate my case in my absence?

Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. Were the proceedings "terminated" by the judge or did the judge "order you removed/deported". The exact phrasing is important. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

Can I petition my fiance if I am unemployed?

Lynne Rogers Feldman
Answered by attorney Lynne Rogers Feldman
Immigration lawyer at Feldman Feldman Associates, PC
You are not required to be employed to petition for your fiance but you must show she will not be a public charge when she comes here. The standard is 125% of the Poverty Guidelines for your family size (2 people about $18,500). If your most recent tax return does not this amount of income you can still qualify as the sole sponsor if your liquid assets are equal to 3 times any shortfall. Or you may get a co-sponsor who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident figure out their family size and add one for your fiance.
