Need advice on K-1 Visa

[R&Z 1]

Hi All,

Need some advise. I'm going for my Oath ceremony on 01/29/2013, and am planning to file the K-1 for my Fiance. The problem is, that she already has a case with USCIS submitted by her fathers ( US citizen). The case was submitted in January of 2007. Looking at the Visa Bulletin, they are currently in February of 2006 as of today (01/10/2013).

Do I need to wait for a specific time after becoming a citizen to apply for this? I need some guidance and what process I should follow, and how will this affect her current case when we file for the K-1 Visa.

As soon as you are sworn in you are given all rights and responsibilities of a US citizen. You can file immediately after that.

They will give you your certificate of citizenship at the ceremony. Make a copy of it, add it to the package and mail it.

It will have no affect on the other petition. BOTH you and her father have petionable relationships to your fiancee. Whichever us approved first is her ticket in.
