Legal Question in Immigration Law in Massachusetts

I've heard that there is a new law under which a green card holder can also bring spouse or fiance to US and don't have to wait for being a citizen. What would be the best ways?

Thank you

You are referring to the I-130 form (in order for a US citizen or greencard holder to bring his/her spouse into the US). Only a US citizen can bring his/her fiance(e) to the US on form I-129F. For further information, please contact me at 1-800-408-5818.

There have been no new changes in the U.S. federal immigration law pertaning to this matter.

However, waiting times have shortened significantly for a spouse and children of a permanent resident (from 5-6 years to 8-9 months only).

There is no new law regarding Green Card holders and their spouses. You would need to file and I-130 and then an I-485 when the Visa becomes available, usually now under one year.
