我是绿卡持有者,现在准备帮身在海外的家属(新加坡籍)申请婚姻绿卡。家属正在走B2的流程,预计9月初会和我一起回美。我们是21年在麻省结婚的,有美国的marriage certificate。

现有几个问题想请教8老师:

1. 家属本身因国籍是新加坡,本不需要签证来美,但通过visa waiver program (VWP) 只可以呆90天,而申请B2则可以呆180天。B2是否是最好的暂时留美的方法?不知道通过VWP入境,是否也可以走I-130的申请?

-You can file I-130 90 days after he entered US using VWP or B2 visa. The problem is that he cannot file I-485 if he uses VWP to enter US. So, he had better apply for B2 visa in the US Consulate  and use it to enter US.

2. 在他入境之后,是否还需要等待3个月才可以申请I-130?

-Yes.

我可以同时申请I-485吗?

-Depends on whether the I-130 priority date is current. If it is current at that time, then he can file I-485. So, check the Visa Bulletin at this link when you file I-130:

Visa Bulletin For August 2022 (state.gov)

还是说这个只是针对美国公民的婚绿申请,我自己只有绿卡,必须等他I-130 approval以后才能I-485?

-Not really. See above.

3. 如上述方法可行,在他呆满B2的180天之后,必须离境,这个会影响婚绿申请吗?有什么办法可以继续留美,等待I-130 approval呢?

-If the I-130 priority date is not current within 180 days, he needs to leave US and apply for the immigrant visa in Singapore.
