husband's entry into US

[yellapragada]

Hi,

My H1-B has expired in October.Since I had filed for I-485 , I did not have to file for an extension.I have my work permit and AP.I have gotten married 2 weeks back.I was wondering how my husband can enter US since I do not have a valid H1 visa although my status is Legal.

I would apprecaite any advise regarding this matter.

regards,
yella

Dire. Should have kept your H1 valid/extended. It's going to be a huge problem now.

Uh yes, definitely a problem because you've already submitted your I-485, so its too late to add your spouse to the petition.

Best I can see is you'll have to sponsor your spouse once you get your GC. Depending on chargeable area, its going to take quite a while.

Go for follow-to-join path, or get H1 (if you are qualified) and his H4.

By the way, what's basis of I485 ?
