impending Marriage and 485 approved...

[dancefanatic]

I have been planning to get married here in the US this weekend and add my wife to my I485 application. Unfortunately, I just saw that my I485 application was approved today.

My wife is on F1 and in the US. Do, I get a chance to add her to my application now? What are my options...

No. You are a permanent resident and your wife will need to qualify for permanent residency via the FB2 route, or independent EB sponsorship.

How can she have CP? She is not eligible to be a derivative beneficiary.
