Filing 1-485 later for wife.

[krishna16]

Currently my wife is visiting India, and she can come back only next month. With this situation can I file my 485 papers now, and later once she comes back in July file her papers? If I file separately what could be the delay in getting approvals?

With this situation can I file my 485 papers now,
----YES
and later once she comes back in July file her papers?
-----Yes if your PD remain current( if PD not current she will not be able to file her I-485 and you need to be on H1 status and she on H4 status till the PD becomes current to file her I-485)
If I file separately what could be the delay in getting approvals?
------------USCIS may not attach her I-485 to your I-485 file

ginnu, Thanks for Information.

USCIS may not attach her I-485 to your I-485 file - Does it cause any issues in getting approval for my wife.?

-------------------------it may delay her I-485 approval

FYI the fee is going to increase for all the applications July 30.

If possible call her and file her I-485 with your I-485 that will save enough in fee and no concern of her I-485 not attaching with your I-485 file and no fear of PD retrogression. nobody knows how the PD is going to move in future

Ginnu,

Thanks for suggestion. Sure, I will call her, and file the I-485 as early as possible. I got done my medicals and paper work.
