I filed for my I-485 on 12 Sept 02 with the Nebraska Service Center. I have a Reciept Date of 12 Sept' 02 and a Notice Date of 25 Sept '02. My finger printing notice arrived sometime last week and I have to get my finger pritns in between 10/31/02 and no later than 1/23/03.
Now here is the problem , my girlfried is also in the US and is working for a different company on an H1-B visa. We plan to get married sometime in Jan. 2003 and I can add her name to my I-485 application only after that.
I have asked several people as to how late in my I-485 process , I can add my spouse ? Some say 4 months , some say 6 months ... Is there a rule for this condition. Also what if , I get my I-485 approval in the mean time. (I know its highly unlikely , but one can never say with the INS).
I guess my question is , If I do get my I-485 approval and I have still not added my wife to my I-485 application, what's the procedure for her to get a Green card. Can she file for I-485 on the basis that I have a Green Card and she is already in the country. If yes , how long does it take to get one in that case? If no , whats the procedure for her to get a green card ?
Any responses to this post would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Maverick
