Filing I-130 on behalg of my GC wife
Hello,
I am on H-1b visa, and my labor certification is in the process,
sponsored by my employer. Since it is taking too long, and I am already
in the H-1B extention age, so I am thinking about taking a parallel
route to the GC.
I have been married to a GC holder wife for more than a year. She has
just applied for citizenship. I never applied for any immigration
status on her behalf. If I file I-130 on her behalf for me, I have some
questions:
1. Is this strategy any good?
2. Would it affect my labor certification in anyways?
3. What forms I need to file along with I-130?
4. Should I wait for my wife to be citizen, or just apply now? Would it
save any time?
Thanks

One more Important Question: Do I have to even hire a lawyer to file
this application? I looked at the application, and it seems pretty
easy. One lawyer asked for around 1200 USD.

iF you can wait till your wife is USC and then apply this will speed up
your process. Then you can file I-130 and I-485 at the same time. When
is your H1B going to expire?

I am on H-1b extention period. My LC is in the process.
So, there would be no benefit in applying I-130 now? no time gain?

She files the I-130, not you.
