super25 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I have searched many forums but still confused whether i can add my wife to my application or do i have to wait untill my PD(Sept 2005) becomes current. Some attorney say i can add and some say i can not but i still would like to take a chance and try adding her, i dont see any harm in doing that. Also i found this statement on uscis.gov website http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=74da83453d4a3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=74da83453d4a3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60aRCRD Family of EB-3 Visa Holders Your spouse may be admitted to the United States in E34 (spouse of a “skilled worker†or “professionalâ€) or EW4 (spouse of an “other workerâ€). During the process where you and your spouse are applying for permanent resident status (status as a green card holder), your spouse is eligible to file for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). Your minor children (under the age of 18) may be admitted as E35 (child of a “skilled worker†or “professionalâ€) or EW5 (child of an “other workerâ€). Link to comment
Joe.F Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 First, a spouse is not "added" to the I-485. Second, a spouse can file his or her own I-485 based on the primary applicant's I-140 ONLY when the PD of the primary applicant is current. Link to comment
