American husband helps China citizen's wife to apply for a green card. Must he go back to America by himself?

1. Those who go to the United States for a short time and do not intend to immigrate can apply for B2 family visit visas. This is the fastest, depending on the time of appointment. You can get a visa in about 2-3 weeks after the face-to-face signing, depending on when you can make an appointment.

2. If you plan to immigrate, you should honestly apply for an immigrant visa to enter the country, and then wait for a green card, and B2 will sign in to change his status. This is a bad reputation, and it will be difficult for relatives to visit relatives in the future.

Besides, immigrant visas are also two situations:

1. If the husband has lived in China for 6 months and has a residence permit, he can submit an immigration application at the domestic embassy and must go there in person. It takes about 2-4 months from application to interview.

2. If the above conditions are not met, the application materials can only be mailed to the US Immigration Bureau, and can be sent by international express delivery, without entering the United States in person. It takes about 1 year from application to face-to-face interview.

Sign a green card directly after the immigrants enter the country, and you can apply according to your time. Because of immigration tendency, it is easier to sign B2. You need to prepare enough evidence to prove that you will return to China on time. If your husband works in China, it is generally easy to pass.
