What do yo think is the faster way. im a GC holder now and i have a GF in the philippines.

will i wait for 5 years to become a US citizen and petition her for fiancee visa

or

marry her next year and petition her as a spouse?

we've been in a relationship for 2 years now.

TIA. :thumbs:

It really doesn't matter as far as how long it will take to get a visa. You can't file for a fiance visa until then and filing for a spouse won't get anywhere until after your a citizen either.

i was in states with gc for 46 years from canada.in 2007 i filed for my n400 naturalization and that was granted april 08.2 days after that was granted i filed for the k1 visa.now we are still waiting and waiting.in reality it would seem faster to do it this way.as a gc holder and filing k1/cr-1 your certain to wait many many years.either way its a long process so hang in there :thumbs:

Unless you are a US citizen YOU can't petition for the visa or any visa for her. You will have to wait..sorry mate, thats the rules

An LPR can petition for a spouse, but there is a wait of about 5 years for the priority date to become current for spouses (8 years for Mexico). The OP can file as an LPR now and upgrade the application if naturalization occurs before the priority date becomes current.
