Re: Marriage question

You may or may not be able to be sworn in before the summer -- there have been delays in the naturalization process sometimes extending for years. Until you become a U.S. citizen, your spouse will not be entitled to an immediate immigrant visa, which can delay and complicate the process of bringing her to the U.S. However, once you complete the naturalization process, you will have a choice of several options in sponsoring your spouse for U.S. immigrant visas(fiance K-1, spousal K-3, consular processing or even adjustment of status if you marry in the U.S.). These visas are very fact-specific and may or may not fit your specific situation. Consult an immigration attorney for advice on how to proceed.

The above response is in the nature of general information, is not legal advice and should not be relied on as such.
