I am a Canadian citizen and have been living in the US for 15 years. This week I filed the N-400 application with the USCIS. I checked the processing time for N-400 on the USCIS website (Phoenix, AZ office) and it states 5 months (so perhaps I'll receive my citizenship in May 2014).
I am planning on getting married in Feb/Mar of 2014 in India. My girl-friend is an Indian citizen and works in London, UK (on a work visa). She does not have a US visitor visa therefore she has never been to the USA. Currently, she is in India on vacation / prep for the wedding and she may not go back to the UK.
1) What are my options to get her to accompany me in the US after our wedding as quick as possible?
2) Can she acquire a US visitor visa prior to our wedding? This would enable her to visit me in the US and can I file for change of status after I receive my citizenship without her leaving the country?
3) Should I wait until I receive my US citizenship to apply for her permanent residency? How long does this normally take?
I look forward to your response.
Kind regards!
