hi everybody. i just have some questions. my husband is still green card holder and he filed n400 one week ago. i just found maybe it will take him almost 6 months to become citizen. i think i cant wait anymore so i want him to file immigrant form for me now. here are my questions:

1. i married my husband on april 1st, 2011 in canada.however we still dont get our marriage certificate (cuz my husband and i cant apply for it until july, 1st). can i use the record of marriage ( issued by ontario greater city hall) instead of marriage certificate to prove our relationship？

2. could anybody know and tell me the process from transferring case from f2a to cr1?

thanx

if your husband didn't has become american you can not go to live with him to the usa you should wait a years to have a visa but if he is american you can have your visa cr1 but i dont know if you can change f2a from f2a to cr1 in my opinion you can not but hope the guys can help you

your husband will be american after 3 or 4 months not 6

me too my husband not american and i still wait good luck for you :thumbs:

Your husband needs the legal marriage certificate to start the spouse visa process. Once he becomes a US Citizen, he simply notifies USCIS and sends a copy of his Naturalization Certificate and the F2a priority changes to CR1.
