I have a friend who is on an H1B.
His six years get over in april-may 2004. His old H1 expired. So he is applying for an extension soon.
His lawyer is filing for I-485, I-131 (Advanced Parole), I-765 (EAD) in the next couple of days. The H1 should be filed in the next week.
Questions:
I suppose he can get married to a girl as he has a H1B now and bring the girl on H4. He hasn;t decided on the marriage yet.
1. Can he add the wife's name in the I-485 petition after it has been filed? or is there no hope of doing such amendments ?
2. How much time does he have to do that ? Ball park figure would be helpful.
3. what other issues that one needs to be careful about in this scenario ?
