Hi. I am an Indian citizen. My current status is H-1B visa with updated visa stamp on passport until Aug 2026. My EB-2 priority date is Aug 2011 with I-140 is approved. My I-485 application was filed earlier this month and is in pending status. I'm planning to visit India in December 2023 to get married to an Indian citizen woman who has never been to the United States. What are my options of bringing my then bride to USA after marriage? Once she is able to arrive in the USA would I be able to add her as a dependent to my AOS I-485 application? Thank you.
 
She should get an H4 visa after the marriage, and you should re-enter the US with an H1b visa, with her entering on her H4 visa. After she enters, she can file I-485.
