Hi sis Xylene. Share ko lang sayo yung case namin.. We are almost in the same situation. My hubby entered in US on July 2007 as LPR. We were also married only last year kasi at first ganyan din naging option namin, wait for his citizenship then file the petition after. But when we consulted an immigration lawyer, she advised na its better to file the F2A petition while waiting for the citizenship.. then just update USCIS once the citizenship is granted. That way daw it can save us time pa sa processing.. kasi kung approved na ng USCIS at waiting na lang for our PD to be current at naging citizen na si hubby, then pasa na lang ni USCIS agad kay NVC since priority na agad for visa processing ang case namin.

Also, una ko nang napanood sa youtube yung isang tv program sa US regarding sa mga US immigration issues na advise rin ng isang american immigration lawyer na for the spouse of LPR, there's no need to wait pa for citz, that a Legal Permanent Resident can immediately file for F2A na, bukod sa time factor, mas less pa daw ang magiging doubt ng isang Consul na hindi fixed lang ang marriage. That made us decide na magtanong naman sa immig. lawyer dito sa atin at yun nga rin ang naging advise nya.

One thing nga rin na naging regret namin ni hubby na kung hind kami nagdalawang isip na magpakasal last 2009 na uwi nya at drecho nakapag-file for F2A malaki ang possibility na isa kami sa mga na-grant na ng visa nung biglang bumilis ang takbo ng F2A last year. And he knows some friend doon sa US, married and filed 2009, na naswertehan yun at nakarating na last year agad yung spouse nya. Oh well.. ganun talaga.. kanya kanyang tadhana lang yan..hehe.

FYI pala, di kami kumuha ng service ng immig. lawyer ha.. DIY kami sa pag file ng F2A.. with the help of reading forums specially this particular forum dito sa GT.

Question ko Sis Xylene sa na-mention mong filing ng citizenship, pwede na ba mag file 6 mos. before mag 5yrs? Sana pwede na..hehe.. last time kasi na nagbasa ako sa USCIS website 3mos. before ang pwede.. kaya hubby is set to file on April 2012, 3mos before sya mag 5yrs so good news yan if ever na pwede na 6mos. before. coz mas less time para sa atin ang paghihintay kasi yun lang naman ang kailangan natin para ma-prioritize talaga ang papel natin.

Sa case nyo, malapit na mag citizen hubby mo, so better weigh nang mabuti Sis.. kung ano mas merong advantage sa inyo...

^i think she meant na once eligible na for citizenship, the process can take up to 6 months. but you can file for citizenship 3 mos before the applicant's 5th year as LPR. si hubby naman went to the states on dec 2007, so oct 2012 pa siya pwede mag start ng application for citizenship

hi mga sis, pa-join...
i need your advice/opinion/suggestions on our situation.

here it goes...
hubby and i got married last year when he came back (1 month lang yung vacation nya) . he's an immigrant, he went to US last march 2007.
so ang 5th yr sa US ay sa march 2012. marami kasing suggestions sa kanya. pwede daw na ngayon na nyako i-petition para in process na yung papers ko.though may mga nagsasabi naman din na it's better na after na lang ng application nya for Citizenship nya ako i-petition para mas madali.
By the way, he will apply na for citizenship this September. Sorry but im not familiar kasi sa rule na ganun na 6 months before sya mag five years dun eh pwede na sya mag apply for citizenship para ma-process na . We want to be together na the soonest possible time. Nakakalungkot naman kasi talaga na malayo sa hubby,lalo na kakakasal pa lang namin

Mga sis, ano ba ang mas magandang gawin?

Super thanks in advance!!!

Ang pagkakaintindi ko dito sa sinabi ni sis xylene is 6 months before daw magcitezen ang asawa niya pede na daw mag file... But it's not true sis, ang pagkakaalam ko is 3 months before citizenship.

I think sa situation nyo sis, kasal na kayo (2010) so hindi na magdududa ang consul kung bakit di ka niya inapply kaagad, understood naman na inaantay niya na lang ang citezenship niya. So for me mas magandang hintayin nyo na lang ang pag grant sa kanya ng citizenship. Kasi kung iaapply ka pa niya ng F2A ngayon mababago na naman ang filing niya kung sakaling maging citizen na siya.

Sa case kasi namin ng husband ko nagpunta siya dun as LPR Feb 2007, then bumalik siya Oct 2007 para magpakasal, then nagfile siya July 2008 na. Now I believed na current na yung PD namin which is July 2008, intay na lang namin yung passport ng son ko then ipapadala na agad namin yun sa NVC (photocopy only), so hopefully next month ay may interview na kami PLEASE PLEASE JESUS (3yrs. of waiting).

sis xylene nasa inyo naman yung kung ano ang gusto nyo gawin.pero mas mabilis talaga ang process petition ng US citizen sa asawa kaysa sa LPR palang.
antayin mo nalang sis maging US citizen si hubby mo. since kasal naman pala na kayo..konting tiis lang sis.

Cardilene · « **Reply #453 on:** July 13, 2011, 05:06:18 am »

Kaunting tiis na lang,..!
My wife can actually file for citizenship already,
kaya lang masasayang kasi ang ibinayad namin
sa NVC kaya napag-usapan namin na stand by na muna kami,
wag lang magreretro yan ay ok na rin sa amin muna,
basta umaabante,...
