Hello,
Does anybody know how to add dependant to pending I-485 ? I could not find enough information anywhere.
My lawyer so stupid and lazy that even after full legal fees were paid , they have not done anything so far (its been almost more than 4 months )
I want to do paperwork my self. I really appreciate your help.

thanks.
 
Pls check these links if it work for u
btw u didn't mention that ur depndents are here in US or outside.

all I understand that if ur dependent are here you would need seprate 485 form for each person and mention as ur dependent. with ur file/case/src no that shows ur dependents. to update ur pettition 485 supplement would be needed (not sure).

pls download the 485 form form ins site and read the instruction. and I realy don't understand that attorney didn't help u out in this situation. most attorney don't know the exact form names but they know about procedure.... but they usually call to INS office and they helped them on phone. anyway u are not alone in attorneys matter... :) ... don't worry and dont get stress...


. I believe its is called "Supplement A to Form I-485 "

Hello friends,

I found some good info for Follow-to-Join people who still have confusion about process - how to bring spouse here.

Please do pass the link and info to others.

Good Luck to you all.

You were married before you became a legal permanent resident, and your spouse did not physically accompany you to the United States. You would now like your spouse to join you in the United States.

If you were married before you became a legal permanent resident, your spouse may be eligible for following-to-join benefits. This means that you would not have to submit a separate Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) for your spouse, and your spouse would not have to wait any extra time for an immigrant visa number to become available. In this case, you can simply notify a U.S. consulate that your status has been adjusted to legal permanent resident so that your spouse can apply for an immigrant visa. Your spouse may be eligible for following-to-join benefits in the following cases if your relationship still exists:

You received a diversity immigrant visa
You received an employment immigrant visa
You received an immigrant visa based on your relationship with your brother or sister
You received an immigrant visa based on your relationship with your parents when you were already married

If you fall into these categories, submit the following information to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS):

Form I-824 Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition
A copy of the original application or petition that was used to apply for your immigrant status
A copy of the I-797 Notice of Action for your original application or petition

If the I-824 is approved, USCIS will notify a U.S. consulate that your status has been adjusted to that of a lawful permanent resident so that your spouse can apply for an immigrant visa. You must then ask your spouse to report to the local U.S. consulate to complete the processing.

PrinceofJungle ,
thank you very much.
Actually i want to add my child, who was born in India . We are currently living in UK. My plan is , prepare all paperwork , make a trip to US to file papers and then come back to UK. We all have valid H visas .
My attorney is located in Canada and basically they are experts in canada immigration. I think even they are not sure how to do this and taking their own sweet time.
