Process taking so long, any temporary permit solutions?

[lenaskaar]

I’m a Norwegian citizen, married to an American citizen. We have lived in Norway together for 13 years, and have now decided to move to the USA. My husband has already moved back, and me and our 2 children, who are also US citizens, are going to join him this summer.
We started my green card process in March, but have still heard nothing except gotten a receipt from USCIS - no case number yet. We are now quite worried this will take a very long time to get processed. We are wondering what we can do while we wait?
I’m traveling as a tourist on ESTA with my children in July. Can we then apply for a temporary visa of some sort, so that I can actually stay in the US with my family? Or do I have to go back to Norway after 90 days and then wait here until I get the green card, which might take another 6 months??
I have a job offer in the US that I might have to say no to because of the long processing time… Are there any loopholes, any other alternatives for us? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Process taking so long, any temporary permit solutions?

Ikke sikker på om jeg allerede har svart på dette før, men holder på med nesten det samme. Ble gift med min mann som er amerikaner i august og i-130 ble mottatt 19. September og vi venter enda. De ligger langt etter i hele prosessen og det kan ta mye lengre tid enn du tror.
I og med at dere har bodd i Norge og har barn, så går det kanskje raskere, men ikke belag deg på at det skal gå raskt. Blir jo frarådet å finne jobb før man har fått greencard og det vil jeg anbefale deg også...

Lykke til!
