hello there,
i think this is a very peculiar querry to be asked.let me explain my situation 1st.
i'm not a nurse but my wife is a nurse n she needs to come to us asap. i'm now in india n 've got admit to one univ in texas for ms in engg on a f1 student visa. i learn that i can bring my wife to us on f2 visa(as a dependent). as a nurse she still need to take ielts n nclex/cgfns.she will finish with it in the next 6 months frm india only.afterwards when she applies for the greencard i find that its a timeconsuming process if she does it in india. i learned frm the websites that once she is in us n apply for ajustment of status then she will get a work permit in 90 days(the processing time in india takes abt 1 year). so i plan to bring her to us on f2 visa. then i will try for an employer sponser frm texas for her. then will apply for i140. then will apply for the adjustment of status n the work permit.(i assume that this whole process will take only max 4 months to get the work permit)
now i will ask my doubts one by one.
1. is watever i assumed above correct??(i mean the time taken for the processing n all)
2. i want to know whether she can apply for a change of status while she is in the us on an f2 visa??
3. will i too be getting the greencard on her careoff as i'm her husband??(note that i need it while i'm on f1 visa)
4 whether my plan of getting the greencard n work permit in the us is easier n faster for her or just be there in the india n apply for the green card is easier n faster??
