I mean it says all LPRS who got marrried before getting their GC's can apply for follow-to-join for their spouses/kids. The marriage has to take place BEFORE they get their GC. The only exception is that any LPR who got their GC's by being an immediate relative is not qualified for follow-to-join.
I didnt read anywhere where it says asylees are also excluded from this follow-to-join benefits.
The logics actually works the other way. Where do you find that asylees
can get this follow to join benefit? God does not give anybody this benefit. To receive that benefit you need a provision in the law which authorizes it. Unfortunately the law says that:
The Secretary of Homeland Security or the Attorney General, in the Secretary's or the Attorney General's discretion and under such regulations as the Secretary or the Attorney General may prescribe, may adjust to the status of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence the status of any alien granted asylum who—
(1) applies for such adjustment,
(2) has been physically present in the United States for at least one year
after being granted asylum,
(3) continues to be a refugee within the meaning of section 101(a)(42)(A) or a spouse or child of such a refugee,
(4) is not firmly resettled in any foreign country, and
(5) is admissible (except as otherwise provided under subsection (c)) as an immigrant under this Act at the time of examination for adjustment of such alien.
This by its terms does not authorize any follow to join benefit. Instead it expressly requires an appplicant to have resided in the U.S. after a grant of asylum. If you married someone after your own grant of asylum then she could not have received derivative asylum. So she is not eligible for a green card through your asylum grant.
I wish I could give you a different answer but the law does not allow follow to join benefits.
About twenty years ago an attorney tried to make the argument you are making here and he was not successful.
