    Question U.S. Permanent Resident Marrying a Foreigner

    Hi,
    I am a lawful permanent resident through my employer since 2 years. I want to get married to my girl friend who is in Nepal and bring her here as soon as possible. I believe the first step that I should do is file I-130 after we get married. My question is-will she be able to enter to the US as soon as her I-130 is approved. How long would it usually take to bring her to the US?
    Your response will be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Check the visa bulletin monthly. It is on state.gov. Processing for spouse of LPR now is about 4 years. She cannot enter until she has her GC in hand unless she qualifies for a guest worker visa.

    I just read the visa bulletin for april 2011. I saw the date for India as 01Apr2007 under F2A but not for Nepal. what does that date mean? I also noticed on webiste www.trackitt.com that the approval of I-130 on behalf of LPR is about 6 months for Indian, Nepali, Pakistani nationals. How long does it take to get the Green card after the approval of I-130?

    Look at Rest of World if country of birth is not specifically named.

    Several months ago the priority date was much closer to today. It retrogressed. The Visa Bulletin is the official information. Trackitt is only self reported peoples' experiences. You can do nothing to move to the front of the line; you must wait for her priority date to be current.
