Two Immigration Applications

Hi,

I'm an US citizen who just got married back home in India. I'm preparing form I-130 to bring my wife here.
However, she already has an immigration application currently being processed as her uncle who is also an US citizen had applied for her family's immigration while she was still single. She already received the first response letter.

I understand that the earlier immigration case would be void because of this change in her marital status, but does she need to inform the consulate or some other authority so that it doesn't cause any problems when I apply for her immigration? Or, does the prior application automatically become void? I didn't find any place on I-130 where I could mention that the person for whom I'm filing petition, had already applied.

Please help with your advice and suggestions.

Thanks,
Rakesh
 
Rakesh,
An individual can have several I-130s approved. One does not void the other. Your wife does not need to take any action. I assume her uncle sponsored either your father-in-law or your mother-in-law under F4. Is that current? Is your wife under 21? Regardless of that, your wife is now married. As far as I know, she can no longer get a derivative GC on that F4 petition since she is married and/or above 21. So just concentrate on your I-130. Good luck!!!
