Greencard holder marrying H1B

[greencard_oneday]

I have a question and will appreciate if someone can help answer or provide more information.

My status: Greencard holder

Wife: H1B with priority date EB2, Jan 2010.

Can I sponsor my spouse for her GC? If I apply today in F2A category (spouses of GC holder), can she use her EB2 priority date of Jan 2010?

Any other help / pointers/ suggestions will be helpful and appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

1. Does she an approved Immigration Petition?

2. Since the spouse of a GC holder has a 4+ years wait she will need to maintain her H1 status till you become a citizen.

She has approved PERM and I140.

Sure. The quota is 4+ years back, though.

No. The PD can never be ported between employment-based and family-based applications.
