Immigration Site

My parents, who are green card holders themselves, have applied for a green card for me in 2005, and I received the Choice of Agent and Address letter from the US embassy almost 6 months back.

In the meanwhile, I got married and my passport has been changed to reflect the same.
Both I and my husband are currently employed in India and ours is a joint family with my husband’s parents. They are dependent on us for financial and familial support since they are not in a position to look after themselves independently. They also have a history of medical conditions which include hypertension etc. We also have a son who is due to start his schooling soon.

Due to these obligations, I can not think of immigrating for at least next 4-5 years. However, I dont want to give up the option completely.

Is there any provision of deferment / postponement of green card at this stage?

You already voided your existing application by getting married before your parent became a US citizen.

So you cant immigrate for several years anyway. One parent would have to become a US citizen and file a new petition for you.

Hey Jackolantern,

Thank you very much!!!

Cant the sponsorship be converted to that for my entire family (Husband + kid)??

Secondly, although my parents are only green card holders, the petition is co-sponsored by my mothers brother who has been a citizen for the last 10 years. Does that have any effect?

Cant the sponsorship be converted to that for my entire family (Husband + kid)?? No. There is no category for the married children of permanent residents. Your GC petition is dead, and needs to be restarted once your parents become US citizens.
