More details to this question:
Hello, My fiance received his green card two years ago under EB2 classification and we plan on getting married soon. I am currently an F1 student and my goal is to hopefully obtain an H1B visa with a reputable employer and wait for him to sponsor me as a spouse once he receives his US citizenship in three years time. I was wondering if there is a way to speed up the process or not have to wait for his citizenship, just in case I am not able to obtain a job on OPT or H1B status after graduation in August 2015. Please help!

For the month of May, the visa bulletin of the U. S. Department of State shows that the F-2A category for spouses and unmarried children of permanent residents is available to those who filed prior to September 1, 2013. That means that it is presently taking less than 2 years for a permanent resident to sponsor such individuals for the green card. Although visa availability goes up and down, you may think seriously about having your fiancé/husband sponsor you directly off the green card.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
