sidharth07 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hi finally GC Congrats on receiving ur GC. Wanted to check if you filed your wife's I-485 after ur physical card was received? I thought one needs to file dependent's I-485 before the primary's 485 is approved as once the I-485 is approved, you are no more in H status, . Can u explain this? I am in similar boat and looking for advice. Originally posted by finallyGC: I applied my wife's I485 after i received my physical card. Link to comment
finallyGC Posted September 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 As i mentioned above, our lawyer applied my wife's GC *AFTER* i received my physical card. The reason being my new I140 under EB2 and my pending I485 applied in 07 August got approved at the SAME time. Even though my wife lost her H4 status after i received my physical card, i think she still has 180 days to file her I485. But its advisable to apply ASAP I485 for your partner once your I485 is approved. Link to comment
Attorney_6 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 The dependant spouses I-485 does not always have to be filed before the primary's is approved. The dependant might have his/her own non-immigrant status, so the primary's approval might not put them out of status. Where there is a status issue, it is sometimes covered by 245(k) if it is less than 180 days. Link to comment
