Hi,
I am on H1 Visa & my wife is on H4 Visa.
I filed for GC in March 2003 under EB3 India Category. My I-140 was approved back in April 2005 and my wife’s name is listed on it. I have been waiting to apply for I-485 and as you all know, the PD currently is in April 2001 for EB3 India. I am not sure of when it will reach March 2003.
My wife is currently doing Masters part-time on H4 visa. We are thinking of applying for F1 so that she can apply for OPT to work eventually. We thought she would be out the GC mess by going this way.
I would like to know couple of things.
1. Whether she can apply for F1? We did not file I-485 at this point. Only I-140 got approved so far. I am not sure how to draft a letter explaining this when she files her F1 application.
2. If her F1 gets approved. Will I be able to add her to my GC application when I eventually file for I-485 and get EAD?
Please let me know your views.
Thanks,
