Obtaining Permanent USA Residence for Your Spouse
If you are a legal permanent resident of the United States, naturally you would want your spouse to be one, too. Listed below are the mandatory requirements you need to fulfill to obtain the permanent residence for your spouse:
- You should be a permanent resident of USA who is at least 18 years old
- You should have a residence in USA
- Make sure you have a financial sponsor for your spouse (You can be one if you satisfy all the criteria expected to be a financial sponsor)
- Submit a I-130 petition to United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
- Ensure a completed petition is signed and submitted with the appropriate fees
- Send all required evidences to avoid delay
If your status is shifted from permanent resident to U.S citizen while your spouse waits for the visa, upgrade your spouse’s visa classification, which will advance the processing of your petition by notifying the appropriate department of your naturalization
