Re: K3visa

Applying for a green card in the US for a spouse is generally taking less than a year, but that is if you and your spouse are living in the US. You may want to consider filing the K-3 visa for her. The processing time for that petition will depend on the wait times at the Polish consulate. You may want to speak with an attorney to discuss the pros and cons of filing a K-3, to get a better understanding of the entire process and the processing times from someone with experience with these types of applications.
