This question comes from our viewer Arnel in Washington:
My wife, who is a green card holder, petitioned my daughter and it was approved in 2014. Now my wife is reluctant to apply for U. S. citizenship for fear that this may affect the petition. There are various opinions we gathered from some friends we know here in Washington State. Some say my wife should stay as green card holder until my daughter arrives here. Others said it would not affect this petition. What’s your professional advice for us?
