Hello everyone!

I am Eritrean citizen, married to Ukrainian lady. We married 6 months back. Currently living in UAE on residence visa. At the moment we have a valid tourist US visa (visited the country for a week few months back).

I was planning to go US alone in few months and from there start getting asylum. Of course I am going to put my wife information in the form. The question is - can my wife get a derivative asylee status if I get asylum? Can she get GC and citizenship afterwards? The main concern for me is different nationality. Or we need to wait until I get GC/passport?

Thanks for your attention.
 
As long as you guys married before your asylum is granted, she can get derivative asylee status.
