Speed Up Your Sponsorship?

Getting a green card for your loved one can feel like a marathon. While there's no guaranteed way to rush the process, here are some tips to help you get there a little faster:

Understand Your Options

  • Premium processing: This option used to speed things up, but it's currently unavailable for family-based petitions.

  • Expedite request: You can try asking USCIS to rush your case, but you'll need a really good reason like a serious medical emergency or a job offer that's about to expire.

  • Concurrent filing: If your relative is already in the U.S. and eligible, you can file the I-130 and I-485 forms together. This might save some time.

Do Your Part

  • Perfect your paperwork: Make sure your forms are filled out correctly and completely. Include all the necessary documents.

  • Timing is everything: Try to submit your application when USCIS processing times are shorter.

  • Stay on top of things: Check your case status online and respond to any USCIS requests promptly.

Get Some Help

  • Consider an immigration attorney: An attorney can guide you through the process, help with paperwork, and even submit an expedite request on your behalf.

Remember: While these tips might help, there's no guarantee they'll dramatically speed up the process. Immigration can be slow, so be patient and prepared for some waiting.
