MY WIFE IS OF KOREAN CITIZENSHIP. WE GOT MARRIED ABOUT 1.5 MONTHS AGO. I FILED A PETITION OF I-130 FOR HER AT THE NEBRASKA CENTER. AND SHE FILED I-485 (ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS) ALSO AT THE NEBRASKA CENTER. HER APPLICATION CAME BACK. MINE WAS RECEIVED BY THEM. SHE IS HERE AS A STUDENT. SHE NEEDS TO VISIT HER COUNTRY SOON BUT SHE DID NOT FILE I-485 AGAIN (SINCE IT CAME BACK), CAN SHE LEAVE THE COUNTRY WITH HER STUDENT VISA, SINCE I HAVE FILED FOR HER THE I-130 (BUT SHE HAS NOT YET FILED I-485 AGAIN)??? WE DO NOT WANT TO WAIT FOR ADVANCED PAROLE, SO IF SHE CAN FILE I-485 AFTER COMING BACK THIS WILL WORK MUCH BETTER, SO SHE CAN LEAVE RIGHT AWAY??? IS THIS POSSIBLE???

Thank you,
iben

Dear Iben:

We would strongly advise against your wife leaving the country and then trying to re-enter on her student visa, especially since you have filed an I-130 for her, and she has filed an application for adjustment (even though the filing was rejected).

The proper procedure is for her to file an application for adjustment with your local INS office, and request an advance parole. If your wife must leave for an emergency, the local offices have procedures in place to issue the advance parole within 24 hours. Good luck.

I filed in NJ N-400 to become a US citizon. Can you tell me how long it is taking in NJ from date of fingerprinting till Swearing. Thank you.

I would like to apply for american citezenship
