I-130 Question

I got married three years ago. My wife is an Indian citizen and still in India completing her education. She has one year to go now and I am getting ready to file the I-130 Petition.


Does it matter that I have waited for three years before applying for I-130? My wife wanted to complete her education before moving to the US. Will this affect my case? Should I send a letter along with the I-130 stating the reason why I have waited this long?




Thanks in advance!

Hi, All -

Any advice on this? I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

I am assuming you are doing Consular Processing in India, Right? If so, you can file I-130 any time. As far as stating the reasons for waiting, others on this board can give you better insights. My personal opinion is that you dont have to, but she can have the necessary documentation prepared at the time of the interview.

No not at all.
Btw, are you an LPR or USC?
