Hi,

My wife is in India and had never travelled to US. Her I130 is approved and she is waiting to get her immigrant visa number to get GC on Family based GC - 4 th category.

Can she apply for any GC/ visa for me so that i can travel to US and work there. She is still waiting to get her GC.
 
Cant you immigrate along with your spouse. if she is to immigrate and apply for you, her being an LPR- you may be looking at 2-3years for your priority date to be current, get allotted a visa number and then migrate as there is a cap/quota on LPR spouse visa's on an annual basis.

I strongly believe you can immigrate with your wife even if the original petition by her sibling 7-10 years ago would have declared that she is a single and unmarried. the category is different for LPR 's children as their petitions no longer hold good when they marry.

If she is the primary beneficiary of a F4 I-130, her spouse and her children can be added and receive GC at the same time she get hers.
 
So her father's sibling applied for her father, and she wants to join her father as a derivative beneficiary?

She can't join her father as a derivative, because she is married.

If you meant to say that her father is the petitioner, that would put her in the family 3rd preference category, not 4th preference as mentioned above. If she is 3rd preference based on her father's petition, that would allow you to join her as a derivative.
