Can I file form i-130 with i-485 if...

[Nedoviz Volodymyr 0]

Hello everyone,

First of all I want to say that my English is very low sorry about this. By the way I want ask and try explain my problem (question):

My wife is Permanent Resident (Green Card holder), I'm a visitor with VISA B1/B2 (I have Ukrainian passport and my form i-94 will expire 26 of August, but I have multi-visa and can come to NY again after 6 month), we married 2,5 years ago and also we have daughter (she was born in USA and sure has U.S.Citizen). Now we living in New York and she want file form i-130 for me, I want ask: can she file form i-130 with form i-485? I read instruction of i-485 and did find next: "you are filing application which a completed relative petition, if approved, would make an immigrant visa number immediately available to you". So, do some know when relative petition will be approved if I will apply with i-485 (if it's possible in my situation).

Thank you.

No she cannot file the two forms together, because you will not have a visa number immediately available as your wife is a greencard holder and not a US citizen. There will be about a 4 year wait for your visa number, and so you must leave when your permitted stay on the tourist visa is up.

Thank you very much I thought that she can't but I must asked for sure before. Thank you.
