I got my 485 approved on Oct 22nd 2004 i have not got it stamped on my passport...next month i am getting married..so what is the best way to bring my wife here..can she go for H4 at this stage. I have H1 till Nov 2005..Will my H1 be still valid till i get my GC stamped on passport.

Filed date 485 - May 28th 2003
Approval date - Oct 22nd 2004
 
What should I say Congrats or SFYS( Sorry for your situation)????
She can't come on H4. Your H1-B is DEAD. You have to wait a long time to get her here. The other option is if you can get her here on H1 ( next year starting on OCT 1st 2005 ).

HTH
 
You should talk to your lawyer immediately.

My understanding is that you can't file a dependant's I-485 when the primary's I-485 is already approved.

Ask your lawyer about "Follow to Join" process. Sorry, I don't know anything about it. Good luck.
 
Anyone know about this?

I don't have detailed info on this, but you might want to check out about the K-3 visa. A fellow countryman of mine got married recently ... and his wife came to USA on a K-3 visa ... and I know he has applied for AOS recently. I am not sure what grounds the K-3 needs ... but he sure had GC for quite a few years before he got married. Good luck!

But K3 applies only for US citizens - not GC holder (unfortunately).
