dhide : you are getting too many conflicting esponse. Spend $100.00 to consult an immigration lawyer to get a better advise. He can work with you to get you gc alongwith your bf in the same time. some attorney do not even charge anything for inital consultancy! true: i am not aware gc holder has to wait for 4 years after geting gc to sponsor his/her spouse. when did that rule take effect? as far as i know gc holder can get married soon after getting card and file petion for his spouse for gc.
