Apply for I-130 as married or divorced

My mother if filling I-130 for me.
The waiting time for unmarried over 21 is 4 years. For married is 8 years.
Should I ask her to fill me as non-married to speed up the process?

4 years is still long time. What happens to people who got married while waiting for I-130? Do you need to file a new petition as soon as you get married?
Will dept. of immigration look at it as very suspicious case if I got married while waiting for I-130?

What if I apply as married and then got divorced? I need to put a new petition? Or existing petition can be adjusted and put in different queue?

Thank you.

My mother if filling I-130 for me. The waiting time for unmarried over 21 is 4 years. For married is 8 years. Should I ask her to fill me as non-married to speed up the process? Thats pretty dumb. Once the consul discovers youre married your I-130 gets denied instantly and you get a lifetime bar. Dont lie about material facts.

4 years is still long time. What happens to people who got married while waiting for I-130? Do you need to file a new petition as soon as you get married? No. The petition gets automatically downgraded to FB3.

Will dept. of immigration look at it as very suspicious case if I got married while waiting for I-130? No. People do it all the time.

What if I apply as married and then got divorced? I need to put a new petition? Or existing petition can be adjusted and put in different queue? I believe you then get upgraded again to FB1.

Hi all, I am a US citizen and i filed a petition i 130 for my wife who is in india. Its been over 5 months. My case was at california service center and i received a letter that the preliminary standard processing of this case has been completed and it has been transferred to my local uscis office for scheduling an interview. I was confused. My case status on uscis website was testing and interview. But today i received a letter that my case is being processed and its in initial review and they uscis is gonna let me know when the decision on my petition is made or if they need something else from me. Now on uscis website my case is in initial review again and testing and interview is gone. What is that suppose to mean> is there gonna be an interview for me? or they are gonna ask for the documents? Why my case came back to initial review again after 5 months
