Hello All,
I have asked this question about J1 & HRR before also. Our situation is my wife got resiency but her program ready to sponsor J1 only & I am waiting for I-140 clearance.
My question was: Suppose my wife joins 3 year residency on J1. In meantime if my I-140 approves & I file for I-485 & then gets Green Card. What will happen if my wife fulfills 2 year Home Rule Requirement, whether my wife can enter US using my I-485 as my dependent or she has to wait 4-5 more years like those spouses who marry GC holder.
I got an answer from dharma_rao that : because she is already u r wife at the time I -140 was filed for you. she will have u r priority date and an automatic immigration once she \'fulfills her hrr obligation\'
I wanted to double check about this because when I talked to my company lawyer he told me that my wife has to wait further 4-5 years after her HRR to get her immigration done.
Please let me know what you think or please let me know any good lawyer to whom I can talk to. Thanks.
