Hello beautiful people,

I filed for my spouse on June 6, 22

Got my citizenship on Oct 27, 22

Called USCIS to update my spouse's status from wife of resident to wife of citizen on Nov 1, 22

They sent me a letter on Dec 1, 22 asking me to send a copy of my citizenship certificate and a letter to demand the update of status.

My certificate I send it for passport, and I don't have a copy until now they didn't send it back.

On my USCIS account they say processing time 5 months.

My question is:

1- is this gonna delay the process?

2- are they gonna consider the time from June till now?

3- can we apply for a visit visa for her meanwhile so if they make any delay we have a back up plan? If yes what type of visa should we apply for?

Thank you very much in advance.

 

 

She won’t get a visitor visa with a pending immigrant visa, for obvious reasons.

 

I don’t think your overall process will be delayed.

Visitor Visa agree does not seem likely but she is free to apply, any reason she has not done so?

Up to her if she applies, only the fee at risk

 

No
