This looks like a very interesting fourm. There are many knowlegable people around here. Hoping to find some solution to my problem.

Due to some unexpected developments my marriage is scheduled in Jan 2003 in India and unfortunately cannot be preponed. My Fiancee is an Indian and she never came to US before.

My I-485 was filed in Feb/02 in VSC, I received my EAD & AP and my FP was done. According to my company's new policy they activated my EAD after completing 180 days and I am working for the same company. As per my understanding this automatically cancels my H1.

Now I have two questions :

1. If I dont get my 485 approval till Jan end, how can I bring her to US ? Is there anything I can do to get her a H4 ?

2. If I get approval before my marriage, what are my options ?

Any answers will be truely appreciated.

ManavSS,

You need to understand this process very carefully, else you will be in big trouble to get your wife to USA.

Here is my two cents worth:
------------------------------------
a) You need to find out w/ ur lawyer, what happens to ur H1B, after you start working on EAD. If your H1B is still good, you can get H4 to ur wife w/o any problem.

b) Answer to ur Q1: Your wife can not come on your greencard, if your 485 is approved with AOS. Pray god not to get approval until you get back here w/ ur wife. Else, your wife has to be on her own status like H1B, F1 etc. You can add her to your green card process, ONLY if your case is pending.

c) Answer to Q2: That will cause a major problem as expalined in b)

So, Please talk to your lawyer and I hope for you 90% your case is not going to be adjusted until Feb '02 as they are still processing Sep '01 as of date.
