Hi guys,

I am a asylee from India and recently got married with my fiancee who is also an Indian citizen in Singapore. Can I include my wife in my green card application process. As i heard that one can include his or her spouse with CP option before the approval of green card. Is this true?

I also found one of the link in immigration.com, which said that one can include spouse in the application process.

How far this is true for asylees? Any idea.... Please advise....

Thanks in advance
 
Asylum green card is governed by different rules and you CANNOT include her in your asylum-based green card application.

Sorry.
 
Jalma,

If you were married at the time when your asylum application was granted then your can be granted derivative asylum and can actually receive green card by adjustment of status process around the same time as you the principal applicant.

However if you married AFTER the asylum was granted to you and you already had ASYLEE status then there is bad news that your wife will not be eligible for adjustment on status on the basis of marriage to you. You can only file for her adjustment of status after your I-485 has been approved.

Regards,
 
Thanks for the reply. I hope you guys knows the truth and giving me advise based on your experience. Why this BCIS is having different laws and attitute for asylees than rest of the world? The rules really sucks.......

I apllied for my I-485 in June,2000. You know when i can get my green card and approximately how long is it going to take for my wife to come and join me in US.

I appreciate your response...
 
The line for follow to join benefit has to be drawn somewhere. For most immigrants the determining date is the date your are admitted to the US or receive your I-485 approval because that date is the date you become part of the United States, so to speak.

The grant of asylum itself, however, is already a very significant benefit. It gives you quasi LPR staus, despite the fact that many asylees refuse to appreciate that.

So it is quite reasonable for Congress to draw the line on the date of asylum grant.
