Dear Friends,
I have been a refugee of US for 3 years and i will be getting my LPR in a few months.i have married to my spouse when we were both in the US 1 years ago.she was an F-1 Holding and i was a refugee when we married in IndianaPolis.I wonder if she is elligible for following-to-join benefits or not.I have read in many websites that the marriage must be outside the US before you enter as a refugee and you can bring your spouse to the US only in such a condition.But in many other websites it is said that the place of marriage is not important and the only requirement is that you must have been married before you became a lawfull permanent resident.
I am totally confused and i don't know if she is elligible if the couple is married in the US.
Best Regards and Thanks In advance.

The rule for asylum/refugee is sometimes totally different from other category and you should talk to those who are familiar with such cases.
Where you are located should not be important for FTJ if you are not on asylum, but I read somewhere that it was important for asylum to apply for follow to join. I'm not very familiar with AS, though.

Ask for details in Asylum section.
