Yes you are right, you dont need to file I-824. File I-485 for her as a FTJ thats is it you are set. Then you have to do the wait and watch game till it gets approved.

- There is no question of PD anymore, since your application is already approved. If even PD retrogress earlier to your PD she will still have her application approved.

- Yes is she very much benifeciary of your aprroved petition, its just that you have not applied for her AOS at the time of your approval.

- INA say that all the benefits of the immigration is applicable to the immediate family as long as the applicant can prove that such relationship existed before apporval. Check the INS website on INA I am not sure what section it is in.

Re: Following to Join Visa for my Wife and Baby Girl
                                                        
Dear Immigration Officer:

I, became a Lawful Permanent Resident to USA on Aug ... I’d like to file Following to Join Visa benefits for … (wife) and ….(baby girl) so that they can join me here in USA at the earliest. Since I don’t physically have the Green Card yet (which could take 3-6 months from Aug 2, 01 as per INS), so I’m also attaching a copy of I-551 stamp from my passport for the proof of Green Card.

Enclosed herewith please find enclosed following documents:
o Original Approval Notice of I-824 (Application for action on an approved application). ie. INS Vermont notified Chennai consulate stating my status is adjusted to Permanent Resident.
o Copy of approval Notice of Lawful Permanent Resident,
o Copy of I-551 (Green Card) Stamp from my Passport
o Copy of my entire Passport pages,
o Copy of Marriage Certificate,
o Copy of Applicant’s Birth Certificates.
o My Employment Letter.

Applicant’s address in India:

We’re eagerly waiting to receive Packet 3 forms from you so that my wife and baby can join me here in USA at the earliest.

Thank you very much for your responsiveness.

Marrying a Green Card Holder

If a person on a visitors (B1) visa gets married to a Green Card Holder. What option does he/she have to stay in the US. Can the Green Card Holder sponsor her for a Green Card and during the time it takes for him/her to get the Green Card, can he/she stay in the US and get a work permit. How long does it take for the Green Card to go through. Is the priority bumped up or changed if the Green Card Holder becomes a citizen during this waiting period.
Thanks

824 approved on Sep 17. I sent docs on Sep 19. No consulate did\'nt ack. The only way I know after my wife got the pkt 3 forms.
 
No Title

If it\'s empl. based immg. for you, then ur family should submit I-134 NOT I864 as per Chennai embassy. Yes the pkt 3 forms had I864. But an email confirmation with chennai mentioned I should file I134.
Also it must be taken to the interview.
 
Hi Luckyme9

Thank you for the information so far.
Can you answer few more questions.
You said that you send some initial docs on Aug 19th.
What docs did you send on Aug 19th.
Your 824 was not approved by then. Did you send the 824 receipt?

Please let me know
Thank you
 
reddy5511

Let me clarify certain things.
1. I got my 485 approved on Aug 9th.
2. I sent FTJ docs to INS on Aug 19th.
3. I-824 was approved on Sep 17.
4. I sent initial docs to Chennai consulate on Sep 19th.

Hope it clears everyone.
