    Default How Long It Takes for Permanent Resident Bringing Wife in USA

    My friend is going to get married oversea and try to file for his wife to join him after his return in USA. Does anyone knows how long it could take for his wife to be approved keeping in mind that immigrant visa has to be available. Anyone can guess time-frame assuming he files paper in June 2009?

    Depending on his wife's country of origin, it could take a couple months to several years.

    Direct him here.

    His wife's country of origin is BURUNDI. Is there any luck with this country?

    He needs to discuss timeframes with the USCIS. They do not publish timeframes for every single country extant.

    Is it true that when the petition is pending, a spouse can not come in USA using another form of visa such as visitors visa?
