Hi

*What is the MAXIMUM TIME after which wife CAN'T be included in the husband's Green Card processing? I have heard the earlier you get married before filing for I-485 it is better. However I just want to know what would be the latest time before which you should get married for the wife to be benefitted with a GC through his husband.
*Can the marriage happen AFTER EAD but I-485 not approved and still the wife be included in the husband's green card application?

Can some experts please explain the PRECISE recent immigration policies on this? Your help is very much appreciated.

Thanks
Raj
 
Hi
Thanks for your valuable information. It seems like for
AOS:
I have to be married BEFORE my I-485 is adjudicated by INS which will make me permanent resident and my wife could either do AOS if she is in US or go about doing "follow to join," based upon a consular interview abroad to also become a permanent resident using my preference classification and priority date.
COP:
I have to be married BEFORE I become lawful immigrant after clearing the consultate interview and entering US as an immigrant.

Please answer my below question.
I am currently on H1B and 2.5 yrs of H1B period is still left. My question is after concurrent filing for 1-140 and I-485 till what period can I LEAVE US to get married and be BACK on H1B in which case I would bring my wife on H4?
Can I leave US to get married even after I get my EAD approved but my I-485 has not been approved?

YEs as per that article you can get your EAD and then get married, return to usa with/ without your wife (preferably with your wife) and then include your wife on your 485 papers/ have her do CP from india.

BTW...this is a CP thread and you will get appropriate answer in the 485 thread.
