alok_arora Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 My situation: I am on H1-B. My priority date is Dec 1 2008 (EB2 category). I filed for adjustment of status (I-485) and EAD/AP on Aug 1. I got my bio-metrics notice for Aug 28. My Problem: I am unmarried. Looks like if everything goes ok, my 485 can be approved by Oct/Nov (In case the date doesn't retrogress) My Options: 1) I rush everything and get married before they approve my 485. and bring my wife on H-4 and file her I-485. It will be too much rushed for me 2) Reschedule my bio-metrics appointment for a later date to ensure I-485 doesn't get approve this year and the dates retrogress and then go to India get married and next year when the date becomes current again then file for my wife's I-485. In this scenario I should still get my EAD and AP this year and wait for my GC until next year. Anyway EAD is almost as good as GC. 3) Let the I-485 approve this year, get a green card and then try to explore options to bring my wife- I've heard this can be quite complicated as you can only bring her on H-1 (as there is no visa for Green card holder's spouse) and sponsoring her on Green card can take up to 2 yrs. right now the proority date for F2A is Jan 2013. 4) Any other option that I don't know of ? Right now I'm leaning towards option 2. Am I correct? Please help! Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 F2A applies to the spouse of a GC holder. I strongly suggest you discuss the matter with the firm of Murthy and soon. Have you even got a girl in mind? Link to comment
omshiv Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 you are the first person who's wishing for the dates to retrogress :) think of the other in the line for years...they will cry. Link to comment
