Green Card through several categories
I got married last month ! My husband is a GC holder and next year is going to become Citizen , I have my GC (I-140- Approved) with a priority date of September 2019 on EB3 . What are my best options here ? Do I wait for him to become a citizen and then apply for my GC through his citizenship ? Or shall I apply GC now through his GC status, before he becomes a citizen ? Or shall I wait for mine ? Will my pending GC still be valid if I apply through my spouse ?
You should apply through as many green card categories as are available to you. The family-based green card can be upgraded once he becomes a US citizen. You will be able to get and keep the green card through whichever category comes through first.

I would like to thank Rajiv, Bharathi and the rest of the team involved for the meticulous work done for the H1B transfer. In today's scenario, H1B approval with out any RFE becomes extremely difficult. With the excellent documentation work from this team, dream becomes true and H1B transfer approved with out RFE in just 4 days. This team reviewed all the documents line by line and made necessary changes, this is something new and unique, have not seen with any attorney so far. Kudos to the team.
Special thanks to Bharathi for taking our calls and queries at all times.
Highly professional team, with excellent support to the customers. I strongly and Highly recommend this team for all your immigration needs.
