Hello:

How soon can I apply my wife's Green-Card (Family-Based) after I get my Naturalization Certificate. I expect to get my Naturalization sometime in Mar-2006?? Is this immediate or do I have to wait for a certain period of time before applying for my Wife's Family-Based Green-Card.

Thanks,
-Satish

You can apply the day, you get your citizenship certificate, if your wife is here in USA, they will get processed right away, that new chicago based procedure is really fast, my wife got greencard in 2 months in USA.

What is this chicago based procedure you referred to?

according to the new procedures, both I-130 & I-485 needs to be filed at the Chicago office, that procedure combined togather took less than 6 weeks for my mom and wife, then 2 more weeks to get a GC in the mail, pretty impressive aye.
