GC Application.
Hello Everyone:
I am over 21 and married. I am a canadian citizen. My mother is a US citizen.
Whats the procedure for her to file a petition for green for myself and my spouse and
how long would it take for me to obtain a green card?
Many thanks. MARF

Re: GC Application.
Marf,
It takes little too long. Check out the classification and details at:
http://www.visapro.com/Green-Card-Fa...Preference.asp
Based on that you could also find out how long it takes at:

Re: GC Application.
Is your mother a US citizen by birth or did she become a naturalized citizen. If she
was born in the US, and lived there at least 5 years, 2 over the age of 14, then you
are already a US citizen. You would be able to petition for your own family to move
to the US. If she is a naturalized citizen, or does not meet the residency
requirements, then she can file an I-130 for you to the Service Center for her area
and you will have to wait for the 3rd family preference visa to become current - the
wait is currently 6 years http://travel.state.gov/visa_bulletin.html. You may also
have problems visiting the US while the petition is pending, because it shows you now
have immigrant intent. For all the details of the I-130 filing, see the I-130

Re: GC Application.
Marf,
given that your mother is a US citizen (and presumably was at the time you were
born), you are also a USC by birth. Therefore, all you need to do is to claim your
citizenship at the US consulate.
You can then sponsor your husband for a green card.

You may be a US citizen now. It depends on where you were born (if in the US then you
are already a citizen) and where your parents were born and how long they lived in
the US. See
http://www.ins.gov/graphics/services/natz/faq.htm#q2
It will be much faster for you to file for your spouse once you become (or find that
you are) a US citizen.
