Q: My son is a US citizen his wife Polish they live in UK. Are they better to apply for her residency to US in the UK or
should my son and grandson come here first and they she applies to join them?
A: If they are both residing legally in the United Kingdom, your son may be eligible to file his Petition for Relative with the overseas USCIS office in London. See generally: https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/international-offices/united-kingdom-uscis-london-field-office The processing time for a Petition for Relative through the overseas USCIS office would likely be faster than through a USCIS office stateside. Your son may wish to schedule a consultation with a competent immigration attorney who can advise him based on his unique circumstances. Some offices, like mine, offer online (Skype) consultations.
